摘要

本研究考察了《性教育》第一季中男性、女性、青少年和成人角色禁忌语的功能。进一步利用Azzaro(2005)和Allan & Burridge(2009)的禁忌语功能对电视剧中禁忌语的使用进行识别和分类。电视剧中出现了114处禁忌语。最常见的功能是咒骂或咒骂表达(53.51%)，其次是侮辱或辱骂表达(29.82%)，使用最少的功能是表达社会团结(11.40%)和风格选择(5.26%)。在性别方面，男性和女性使用禁忌语的频率几乎相同。事实上，114个禁忌语和短语中，女性角色使用了58个，男性角色使用了56个。此外，从年龄层来看，性教育中的青少年角色比成人角色更频繁地使用禁忌语。总的来说，在114个禁忌语和表达中，青少年角色使用了83个，成人角色使用了31个。此外，在四个特定的性别和年龄群体中，禁忌语的使用频率也存在差异。这些群体是年轻男性、成年男性、年轻女性和成年女性。关键词:禁忌语，功能，性别，年龄，电视剧

This study investigates the functions of taboo words used by male, female, young and adult characters in the first season of Sex Education. Azzaro (2005) and Allan & Burridge's (2009) functions of taboo words were furthermore employed to identify and classify the use of taboo words in the TV series. There were 114 utterances of taboo words in the TV series. The most common function is swearing or expletive expression (53.51%), followed by insults or abusive expression (29.82%), and the least used functions are expression of social solidarity (11.40%) and stylistic choice (5.26 %). In regards to gender, both male and female use taboo words at nearly the same frequency. In fact, 58 out of 114 taboo words and expressions were used by female characters and 56 by male characters. Moreover, with respect to age group, young characters or teenagers in Sex Education appear to use taboo words more frequently than the adult characters. Overall, 83 out of 114 taboo words and expressions were used by teenage characters and 31 by adult characters. In addition, there are frequency differences in the use of taboo words in four specific gender and age groups.

Functional neuroimaging and lexical representation in the brain Lexical development across the lifespan Lexical processing in second language acquisition The bilingual mental lexicon Lexical and morphological structure across languages Formal models of lexical structure Corpus research on the lexicon New experimental paradigms and statistical techniques for mental lexicon research.
