dc.description.abstractThe present paper is a qualitative investigation into the use and awareness of euphemism by Algerian adolescents in the Constantine speech community. The paper covers two hypotheses.

Second, those adolescents are unaware of euphemism as a language skill and its importance in social interactions. To examine the aforementioned hypotheses, a survey was administered to Algerian adolescents living in Constantine, Algeria. Socio-cultural linguistics is the model according to which the notion of euphemism will be investigated. The findings suggest that the use of euphemistic expressions were used more than the use of non-euphemistic ones.
