THE PROBLEM OF DETERMINING THE PLACE OF EUPHEMISM IN MODERN LINGUISTICS
In this article, the author tried to analyze the problem of determining the place of euphemism in modern linguistics. In the course of her research, the author came to the conclusion that in Russian, English and Tajik languages, euphemisms are a layer of vocabulary used to more politely describe phenomena that are considered unpleasant, ugly, awkward or offensive in society. At the same time, in different societies there may be different euphemisms, depending on the standards of politeness and the perception of specific phenomena by members of society. It can also be concluded from this that the phenomenon of euphemism is closely related to the existing standards of a particular society.
