Abstract

Aeuphemism is a phenomenon of language universally existing in many nationallanguages in the world, which can trace back to ‘taboo’ culture of the primitiveage. A euphemism is to change an expression hearing bad or giving the negativenuance into an expression hearing good or to mitigate the negative nuance. Inthis study, I first examined the prototype theory as a cognitive factor ofeuphemistic language, and then carried out contrastive analysis of euphemismsand composition method replacing death among taboo themes in Chinese andKorean. These expressions can be utilized as an alternative to make educationaleffectiveness utmost by making those who learn Chinese or Korean thoroughlyunderstand euphemisms of two languages.
