Abstract

Euphemism, as a linguistic phenomenon, provides a suitable and comfortable way of expression for human communication. It is a reflection of the development of human civilization as well as a carrier of human cultural development. As a new subject, ecolinguistics provides a new perspective for the analysis of euphemisms. Through the analysis of the ecological influences on the origin, development process and language characteristics of euphemism, it is found that the development law of euphemism is consistent with the law of ecological evolution, which can deepen the understanding of the laws of language evolution and language diversity, and is of great significance for guiding the use of euphemisms and an effective inter-cultural communication.
