    ?

    Everyone sighed, saying swearing should be fined so much?  Could this be the authentic Gang of Civilization?

    Now, everyone was more interested in the content of the book, and they all looked at Yaolivas with anticipation, waiting for his next words.

    "Since swear words have been studied, there must be a classification, which can be roughly divided into three categories in the past. Simply defining swear words as religious, sexual, and excrement is just an after-the-fact classification.

    In reality, it is neither a sufficient condition nor a necessary condition for swearing.  So, what exactly is swearing?

    In 2011, at Stockholm University, there was a linguist who specialized in swear words, Magnus Rong.

    He counted thousands of survey samples on profanity around the world.  And give a definition of swear words.  This is also a definition generally accepted around the world.

    He said that swear words must meet four characteristics.  First, it must include taboo words.  Second, it does not refer to or prefigure actual action.  Third, swear words generally follow a specific sentence pattern.  Fourth, swear words must be highly emotional and have the effect of expressing immediate emotions.  "

    Now, I am dizzy, any simple and ordinary things, once summarized in academic terms, feel a little weird.

    And Yaolivas also saw this, he said, "After listening to it this way, I feel that swearing seems to be a tall order, doesn't it? But I don't understand it.

    On the basis of these four items, the author of that book gave a more concise definition.  She said swearing, used in situations of intense emotion, refers to words that are generally taboo.

    Simply put, the essence of swearing is to break taboos.

    You can recall, do all swear words meet this definition?  It's almost impossible to act on any dirty word you say.

    Quite simply, because it is a taboo.  At the same time, the reason why a sentence is considered a swear word must have violated some kind of taboo.

    For example, in the United States, the reason why nigger is a swear word is because it violates the taboo of racial discrimination.

    For another example, 150 years ago, the reason why our Lord spilled blood was a dirty word was because it violated a Christian taboo.

    For another example, in Japanese, the reason why words such as excrement are not considered swear words is because in the Japanese system, there is no taboo about excrement at all.

    Everyone is not taboo, so it can't be said to offend, and of course it can't be called swearing.  However, if honorific words are not used in Japanese, it is equivalent to swearing.  Because Japanese pays special attention to the use of honorifics.  If you don't use it, you are violating a taboo.

    After understanding the nature of swearing, we can naturally explain why everyone, even children, can swear when they are young.

    The reason is actually very simple, because everyone has curiosity, which is human instinct.

    What is curiosity?  In a way, isn't it about stepping out of the prescribed boundaries and doing things that no one has done, or you are not allowed to do.

    For example, Chu Chu also said before that there is a word in psychology called red button syndrome.  If you don't remember, I'm repeating it.

    Red Button Syndrome means that you are locked in a room and served with delicious food and drink.  There is only one requirement, there is a red button in front of you, you must not press it.  But in the end, most people can't help but press it.

    For another example, you may have heard a joke about how to untie a nine-linked ring?  That is, the kind of complex educational toys.

    It's very simple, give it to a seven or eight-year-old child, and then tell him not to untie it.  If you come back in 15 minutes, it must be unlocked for you.  "

    ¡ª¡ª"Hahahaha, this is amazing, it reminds me of what Chuchu said about elephants and horses before; a very small child can pull a strong horse back to the stable because he pulls it outward, and the horse  My son just wants to go inward.

    In other words, for an uninformed person, we can directly use the aggressive method.  In fact, the same can be used for yourself.  "

    Yaoliwas nodded, "Yes, in fact, a lot of knowledge is figured out. As long as you understand it thoroughly, you can apply it in many places.

    Just like those formulas in science, as long as you understand the formula and the meaning of the question thoroughly, you can solve the problem by applying it.

    What we just said is to use people's curiosity; in other words, to some extent, human beings are born with this urge to break the norm and know that they can't do it.

    This is human instinct.  After a lot of swearing, there is an inexplicable sense of refreshment, which is the reason.  Because you let go of the instinctual urge to break taboos.

    In other words??, where there is human society, there must be rules.  Where there are rules, there will be corresponding taboos.  Where there are taboos, there are corresponding swear words.

    Moreover, as society evolves and old rules are eliminated, the corresponding swear words will also be eliminated.  And with the new rules comes new swear words.

    For example, 'hehe' is generally considered to be similar to swear words on the Internet.  This is because the Internet has given birth to a new set of language rules.  In this set of rules, 'hehe' is a taboo.

    Of course, we can't think that people should swear.  What I want to express to everyone is, why are swear words so tenacious and repeated?  Because it is largely tied to our instincts.

    Well, what I said above is the definition of swear words by linguists.  The essence of swearing is to break taboos.

    Do you think we understand swearing completely?  Don't forget, who study swear words; besides linguists, there is another group of people, neuroscientists.

    In their opinion, what is swearing?  You may be a little surprised to say it.  Neuroscientists believe that swearing is the brain's symphony.

    However, this is not to describe the beauty of swear words, but to say that the mechanism of swear words is as complicated as playing a symphony.  "

    Symphony?  Apart from knowing that the name is taller, what else is there about Beethoven; other things, Chu Lihua said that her face was confused.

    ¡ª¡ª"This discovery starts with a bizarre accident. By the way, this accident not only inspired neuroscientists to study the topic of swearing.

    It is also a milestone event in the history of brain science.  Through it, you can realize how much the study of swear words has contributed to neuroscience.  "

    ¡ª¡ª"What? The study of swear words can also contribute to neuroscience? And the contribution is not small?"

    Meng Xianxiang is no longer silent this time, he has completely fallen into the wonderful explanation of Yao Livas.

    However, he also asked everyone's aspirations, which is really incredible.

    Every day, everyone will bring you a different sense of novelty in ordinary things!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
