關於產品
Product Information
Nearly everyone swears-whether it's over a few too many drinks, in reaction to a stubbed toe, or in flagrante delicto. And yet, we sit idly by as words are banned from television, censored in books, and scrubbed from our vocabularies. That's damn shame. Swearing is a cathartic, funny, and useful part of our culture. And, as linguist and cognitive scientist Benjamin K. Bergen argues, it also opens a new window onto how our brains process language and why languages vary around the world and over time. In this ebullient romp through the linguistic muck, Bergen answers intriguing questions like: How can patients left otherwise speechless after a stroke still shout Goddamn! When they get upset? When did a cock grow to be more than merely a rooster? Why is crap vulgar when poo is just childish? Do slurs make you treat people differently? And why do we extend a middle finger to flip someone the bird? Smart as hell and funny as fuck, What the F is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to know how and why we swear. Book jacket.

Reviews
"A lively study with the potential to offend just about anyone.... From a linguistic and sociological viewpoint, the book is illuminating, even playful...an entertaining...look at an essential component of language and society."-- Publishers Weekly, "There's something here guaranteed to offend everyone (the book wouldn't be doing its job otherwise), but...lovers of language will savor every word."-- Booklist, "An illuminating read, and makes the case for swears as a salutary aspect of our lexicon."-- A.V. Club, "This book is a surprisingly engaging introduction to a topic rarely discussed or examined...Highly recommended."-- Choice, " What the F is rigorous enough to guide future scientific inquiry, and casual enough to be read by any ordinary bastard with a passing interest. At the very least, this book reassured me of the profundity of my own human capacity for expression when I rolled out of bed last month to find out who got elected President of the United States and could only utter that one favorite curse word."-- PopMatters, "Why we swear and where and when it is permissible are explained in this compelling treatise on one of the most taboo subjects in all culture. Read this fucking book or else you might be a wanker."-- Michael Shermer, author of The Moral Arc, "Some prospective readers may avoid this book because of its subject matter. That would be a gosh-darned shame."-- Science News, "[A] skillful presentation... What the F delivers on the surprise promised by its title, as what seems like a book about language taboos turns out to be a cognitive scientist's sneaky-charming, consistently engrossing-introduction to linguistics...Bergen synthesizes reams of his own and others' research clearly and cracks some pretty decent professional jokes...entertaining and enlightening..." -New York Times Book Review "A delightful new book." -Economist "Offers useful information." -New York Review of Books, "Full of cute tidbits you can drop at cocktail parties.... It's a quick read, not a detailed, academic dissection. But don't mistake breeziness for triviality: cursing plays a central role in our lives."-- Ars Technica, "A sweeping book, exploring not just the history of English profanity in words and in gestures, but also the impact that swears and other taboo words can have on the human brain...a valuable addition to the literature about profanity."-- Atlantic.com, "In What the F, a self-proclaimed 'book-length love letter to profanity,' cognitive scientist Benjamin K. Bergen succeeds in bringing me around to appreciate the broader context, as well as the finer points, of the role 'bad' words play in human society."-- Science, "It takes courage, energy, extraordinary intellectual chops, and a sense of fun to take on profanity. Ben Bergen has all in full measure. Read this book."-- George Lakoff, Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics, The University of California, Berkeley, " What the F teaches us that profanity is not just pungent, but as INTERESTING as other aspects of the miracle we call language."-- John McWhorter, author of The Power of Babel, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue, and The Language Hoax, " What the F is accessible and engaging, and so brimming with insights that, even as a linguist, I found myself stopping every couple of pages to say to myself, 'Huh-I never thought of that.' You'll find yourself saying the same thing-and you'll never hear profanity the same way again."-- Geoff Nunberg, author of Ascent of the A-Word, language commentator on NPR's Fresh Air, "An elegant, insightful, and ballsy application of rigorous linguistic methods to swearing, that most revealing--and ignored--corner of language.... Though a descriptivist to the core, I issue the following prescription: read this effing book!"-- Jesse Sheidlower, author of The F-Word
