中文摘要:委婉语是一种极其精炼、表达效果特佳的语言,它在英语语言中被广泛地应用。作为一种修辞手段,委婉语具有重要的社会文化功能,折射出不同的社会成员所尊崇的不同价值标准和风俗文化。人们在社会交活动中,为了避免某些禁忌语,常用温和的、间接的、婉转的表达方式或方法来表达思想感情,以满足交际双方的心理幽默感觉。随着语言学的发展,委婉表更是被不断推陈出新,丰富发展,迅速形成了今天的生动活泼、摇曳多姿的各种委婉表达。文章从五个方面分析了委婉语在社会交际中的功能,即:掩盖事实真相的欺骗功能,人际交流中的言谈措辞的积极功能,礼仪功能,鞭挞社会人性的讽刺功能,使语言妙趣横生的幽默功能。同时,文章也分析了委婉语的部分社会功能对商业的影响。其中包括其在商业领域中的商务沟通交流,产品正面宣传以及满足客户心理需要等方面发挥的重要影响。
