Euphemisms in Indonesian and Mandarin Languages: a Contrastive Linguistics Analysis

“…In the written text, many sex euphemisms are taken from literary works in China. Meanwhile, in Indonesian literature, some use euphemisms, such as Pramoedya Ananta Toer's novel (Saputri et al, 2019). In general, Indonesians rarely talk about this sex-related thing.…”

“…In a study conducted by Sabarua (2019), it was found that the euphemism used by teachers is a strategy to avoid saying words that have violence, racism, harassment, or unpleasant meanings which can have a negative impact on student development. Euphemisms used in various mass media and literary works are a manifestation of language, one of which is used to disguise and avoid conflicts (Puspitasari et al, 2019;Septiana & Rahmawati, 2021;Jayanti et al, 2019;Saputri et al , 2019). Those studies show that there are actually efforts to refine language in the context of language politeness and conflict avoidance.…”
