Description

Swearing is an integral part of our language, yet we often try to suppress it. Benjamin K. Bergen explores why swearing is so prevalent and what it reveals about our brains and ourselves. By examining the study of swearing, linguist and cognitive scientist Bergen uncovers new insights into how our brains process language. He delves into the world of profanity, exploring its origins, functions, and cultural significance. From the power of swear words to their role in social interactions, Bergen sheds light on a fascinating aspect of human communication. Through his engaging and accessible approach, Bergen shows that swearing is not just a matter of personal taste or social convention, but also a window into our language, cognition, and society.
