Linguistic avoidance and taboo in Ethiopian languages
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter examines the status of linguistic avoidance in the languages of Ethiopia. It offers a brief introduction regarding linguistic taboo and addresses topics related to them with examples from Ethiopian languages. The chapter also discusses the linguistic avoidance of in-laws, noting that it is widespread among speakers of Highland East Cushitic (HEC) languages—e.g. Sidaama, Kambaata, Hadiyya—and also in the nearby Arsi Oromo variety. It details the linguistic avoidance of in-laws in three Ethiopian languages: Sidaama, Kambaata, and Oromo. This chapter also reviews the less strict form of avoidance language in a few Semitic languages. Ultimately, the chapter elaborates on the avoidance of animal names and names of older kin (whether consanguine or not) in many Ethiopian languages. It also studies the taboo of body parts, sexual activity, and effluvia.
