| Abstract: | Human life is an unexhausted source for the creation of linguistic forms whose expressivity appears to increase whenever such relations are on the negative side. Conflicts of all sorts populate the repertoire of any language, due probably to the way human emotions react to situations that imply suffering, fear and death, which are abundant in world history. Our paper analyzes the way the image of such conflictive statuses is attenuated or enhanced by their linguistic expression, in an attempt to decipher the euphemistic and dysphemistic mechanisms that describe them. |
