Abstract

A few issues are acknowledged and admitted for every public, while others are not considered appropriate at any point verbally expressed on open occasions. When used in correspondence, taboo words are appropriately interpreted as silly, appalling, or revolting. These are the words "limitations." The current study looks into all of the notable collections of English Linguistic taboos, such as genuine releases, end and illness, sex, four-letter words, security, and harsh language, which are independently described and given strong models. To deal with the conditions, abnormal and indirect strategies for avoiding using unapproachable words are proposed. Being a sociolinguistic report, the current research thesis aims to research the Linguistic Taboos in the novel "Send My Roots Rain" by Ibis Gomez Vega. The focal point of the novel is lesbianism. The protagonist of the novel goes under the attack of the previously described subject. The topic of lesbianism was discussed where the Theory of Bad Language by Batistella was used as a hypothetical framework. A Library summary was used to collect secondary data. The study investigated the kinds of semantic constraints and profane and forbidden body movements that permeated in the novel in the novel. At any rate, these Linguistic Taboos are forbidden in public, but in the event that somebody like Carol, the hero of the novel, goes under an assault of the illicit and restricted crime, it is not just a Spanish individual’s calamity; it can immerse various social orders moreover. As these kinds of limitations are once penetrated, none can stop and annihilate except drastic devastations. A pilot study was done for the data mining.
