1.THE EUPEMISM FOR DEATH IN JONAS'S COMMUNITY WAS THAT INSTEAD OF USING DEATH THEY USED RELEASED.
ReplyDelete2.THE EFFECT OF USING EUPHEMISM IS THAT SOMWE TIMES SOME ONE WILL NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,AND ALSO IT CAN MAKE SOME ONE THINK OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN YOU MEAN.
3.WE USE EUPHEMISM IN OUR COMMUNITY WHEN WE DONT WANT YOUNG PEOPLE TO KNOW WORDS THAT ARE NOT APROPREATE FOR THEM.
4.PEOPLE DO THIS BECAUSE IF THEY JUST SAY SOME THING OPENLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE WILL KNOW THINGS THAT THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO KNOW.
The euphemism for death in Jonas's Community is "Release". The community has used this word because they are very keen with words whenever they are using them, and maybe they feared that death wasn't the appropriate word to use. People use euphemism to avoid embarrasement, to pay respect, to make things that are too bad look good or simple e.t.c.
