metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The object of the investigation are X-phemisms (euphemisms or/and dysphemisms), i. e. units
  of affective semantics and polite communication. Euphemisms and dysphemisms that make
  evaluative judgements and stance taking possible are treated dialectically, as variants of a naming
  in/through its contextual ambivalence and the relativity of its affective semantics (relationality).
  The evidential base of the research builds on the findings of theoretical analysis
  and empirical investigation of context, in which direct and indirect naming identifies with a
  positive or negative stance taken by the ‘namer’ (i. e. speaker). Theoretical interpretation of
  the context-dependent variation of a naming is based on the textological analysis of dictionary,
  functional and occasion-specific euphemism and dysphemism on the level of structural
  semantics with the use of lexicographical and culturological data as well as the pragmatical
  parameters of the discourse. Empirical analysis implies putting together observational data
  from the investigation of the experiential context of communicative actions upon the semantic
  units in question. The research material is based on the dialogical discourse of the TV show
  Desperate Housewives. A conclusion is made that X-phemism is a dynamic semantic unit characterized
  by affective valence and blurred lines between its positive and negative value. On a
  textuallevel, X-phemism is a contextually ambivalent naming.
