Dysphemism is, roughly speaking, the contrary of euphemism. Investigating dysphemism, we examine the verbal resources for being offensive, being abusive, or just letting off steam. .because our background is linguistics, .we.show that euphemism and dysphemism are not merely a response to taboo: they also function where Speaker avoids using, or, on the contrary, deliberately decides to use, a distasteful expression.".

very good dust-jacket, very good/ green cloth. HORWITZ, HOWARD. By the law of nature: form and value in nineteenth-century America. New York: Oxford University Press, 1991, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xii, 324pp., . Dust-jacket design by Jeffrey J. Faville. This provocative study examines nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American writing in conjunction with economic and political developments in order to elucidate conceptions of value and identity in liberal culture. Horwitz explores work by Emerson, Twain, Howells, Norris, Dreiser, and Cather, as well as painting by the Hudson River School, alongside debates about tariffs, laissez-faire policies, stock speculation, corporate trusts, homesteading, and the nature of property and value. These aesthetic performances and public debates typically invoked nature as the ground of value. Horwitz argues that appealing to nature was a central strategy of the liberal tradition in the United States and that literary and other aesthetic artifacts helped evolve the semantic and conceptual field in which historical developments and debates occurred. - CONTENTS: Introduction. Mixed instrumentality : nature as protean ground -- 1. Sublime possession, American landscape -- 2. Transcendentalism and protectionism -- 3. "Ours by the law of nature" : reading, romance, and independents [sic] on Mark Twain's river -- 4. The sordid and the organic : character and economy in Howells and economic theory -- "To find the value of X" : speculation and romance in The pit -- 6. Transcendent agency : Emerson, the Standard Trust, and the virtues of decorporation -- 7. Dreiser, Debs, and deindividualization : hypothecation, union, representation. 8. The natural law of property : O pioneers! and Cather's aesthetics of divestment. 9780195062274 ISBN 0195062272.
