“…Profanity has several more negatively-tinged uses, such as alienation of others from group membership (Selnow, 1985); to defy authority figures (Paletz & Haris, 1975; as a way of labeling others (Warshay & Warshay, 1978); a conveyance of impending aggression (Vingerhoets et al, 2013); or as a means of degrading or humiliating other individuals (Paletz & Haris, 1975).…”

“…In the majority of cases cited in a report by the NSW Ombudsman (2005), it was swearing used as a threat to authority that was followed by police action to penalise the offender. Not only does swearing at the police, nurses or other such fi gures challenge authority, it also communicates a lack of respect (Paletz & Harris, 1975). The application of the law as it relates to swearing is not even-handed as not all parties using offensive language during the same incident will be convicted.…”

Most clinical nurses, particularly those working in mental health areas, have to deal on a regular basis with offensive language including swearing. Despite its prevalence, there has been little academic research concerning the extent of verbal aggression within health care settings, and none about the legal aspects of swearing in a nursing context. This paper is intended to give nurses practising in Australia a better understanding of definitional aspects of swearing and offensive language, the relevant law, and the basis of policy. This will then be followed by a critical examination of the management of offensive language in health care settings.

The subject of linguistics, anthropology, and verbal art is an especially gratifying one for a folklorist of my persuasion to deal with, not only because of my own personal commitment to a unified perspective on all three areas, but also because my folklorist's investment in tradition leads me to value that part of our collective scholarly birthright as linguists, anthropologists, and folklorists, that is represented by an integrated vision of language, culture, and verbal art. 1 In the scholarship of recent decades, that unified vision has tended to break down as the various disciplines of linguistics, anthropology, and folklore have asserted their disciplinary autonomy; but it has not always been so, and I believe grounds are firmly established on which that trend can be reversed by those with the interest and commitment to do so.The sources of this formerly unified vision of language, culture, and folklore are widely known in our various disciplines, but it may be useful to recapitulate briefly aspects of its development which will serve as a frame of reference for our later considerations. The seminal figure was that great precursor of the era of romantic nationalism, Johann Gottfried von Herder. For Herder, the touchstone of a people's distinctiveness, the source that gives rise to and sustains their sense of themselves as a separate, unique social entity, was the possession of a common language. Language embodies the character, the inner being, of a Volk. Moreover, language represents the means of transmitting the distinctive traditions of a Volk across the generations, thus representing the instrument 13 14 / RICHARD BAUMAN for that progressive cultivation of faculties that Herder identified as culture (Cultur), in what was then a new sense of the word, and an antecedent of subsequent usage in anthropology (
