Abstract

Euphemism, as a common linguistic phenomenon, is a mild or vague or periphrastic expression as a substitute for blunt precision or disagreeable truth. Based on the academic research done before, this thesis attempts to explore English euphemism from the pragmatic perspective as well as its application for non-English-major English teaching. Via the theoretical and empirical study, some specific strategies are also introduced in this thesis.
