ENGL 1069 - Bad Words and Taboo Terms Credits: 3 This course is an introduction to the study of linguistics through the lens of “bad” language, exploring the constructions that influence how and why language is taboo in different cultures. Since taboos exist in all languages, using these polarizing language features as a focus gives students a better understanding of not just how language works, but how people and language influence each other.
