From the Back Cover

Swearing and cursing is more complex than simply violating linguistic taboos. This volume focuses on contexts of languages from the margins, asking about the semiotic diversity of linguistic transgressions by moving away from mainstream swearing studies, turning the gaze to the postcolonial and to linguistic edgelands. In its center stand dynamic, processual practices that are not only swear terms but also voice, substance and performance.
