ÎNJURĂTURA – AUTOMATISM VERBAL. PREMISE ALE CERCETĂRII
EXPLETIVES AS VERBAL AUTOMATISMS. PREMISES OF THE RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: The present article announces the theoretical background of a complex research projectregarding the expletives, which we intend to develop in the context of their semantic conversion from taboo words / expressions to verbal automatisms. Therefore, this study aims to outline the current stage of the Romanian research as regards the investigated parameter in the context of the international specialised literature; to briefly present data concerning the status and the functionality of swear words in the Romanian pre- and post-revolutionary public speech (the analysis of the communicative behaviour of expletives in different contexts will constitute the main objective of the applied section in the future project); to describe the methodology of selecting the corpus of our research (mentioning the potential risks occured during the sociolinguistic investigations); to establish the levels of the analysis. The approach will be multi- and interdisciplinary, as well as multicultural, involving both linguistics related disciplines (sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, pragmatics) and methodologies specific to anthropology and cultural studies in order to achieve the targeted indicators.
