"Fuckin 'Motherfuckers": Soziolektale modal particles

As I mentioned, I look at from time to time on YouTube to relax a movie, thriller or mostly stuff from the action genre, and I had already made it in what almost unimaginable extent in some US productions (I look like the originals, when I get to serve) "fuck" and "fuckin '" as ubiquitous, completely meaningless basically not even tinting because of their ubiquity, phrase, or sentence linguistic particles.

Now I saw two thriller that much played in the black American drug scene, and it was really true that all the time not only in salutation of the same Abgefacktem to equal Abgefacktem and Oberabgefacktem to Unterabgefacktem, but also in the speech about a third Abgefackten "motherfucker" and "you motherfucker" and "that motherfucker" has been applied.

First, it should be noted that for these people (the environment is imaged as) must be the lexeme and "fuck" (or fuckin ') as it were, become structural words and modal particles (but in a very unusual and remarkable sense, I'm Going Down still discuss it in detail).

What at first as I thought about it, struck me was that these communicating not only by fists and knives and cudgels and shooting stuff being (there were already dialogues with sachbezogenem content) apparently only about this one, due to its ubiquity extremely attenuated dirty word possessed (at most times, it occurs to me just yet "sucker") and had it appropriate and necessary so as sufficiently hold for everyone in every situation. (Too stupid to even complain effectively ...).

So that I can not remember (maybe I have not taken care of exactly when times but another fell), even even a "son of a bitch" or "asshole" or "cocksucker" or one of the other earlier in such to have heard circles relevant swear words (the active linguistic impoverishment in this regard now virtually impossible to increase), which is undoubtedly at least passively in the vocabulary itself such sinister figures must still exist. (From finer English swear words like "crackpot", "looney", "nitwit", "jackass" or "rascal" or at least "thug" Not to mention.)

Moreover, it was the only curse, which it certainly is not lacking, even if what skew-back or it went, except "fuck!", "Shit!". No "gadammit!", No "dag", not a "damn!", Nothing.

So: "fuck", "fuckin '" "motherfucker", "sucker" and "shit".

What remain only four cores word for the expression of all emotional life.

Maintenance, true, women were also called "bitch", hereby I care five.

The funny thing for me as a linguist thing is that apparently none of these communications specialists ever came up with the idea, where it still in his environment always comes to make an impression, to give the About defeated, what an advantage which surprise, which open mouths he would be able to achieve, he applied himself once in the appropriate place in overweight position to an extended two or three or even four lexemes active vocabulary.

Stupefakt suddenly stood all other motherfuckers before so exceptionally powerful language motherfuckers.

To give a motherfucker to the effect time tuition I'm going but certainly not apply for a job in the South Bronx and East Los Angeles as a psycho-linguist or language trainer, so that I get paid with a fuckin 'bullet, but fun it made me already, so to try , Whether there probably a learning success would be achieved?

Now, as announced, with respect to language Structural "motherfucker" and "fuck" (fuckin ').

Structure of words is called in linguistics those words which have a purely grammatical or ordering function, no self importance in the sense such as "fish" or "bad" or "catch", without which there but - at least in the Indo-European languages ​​- absent or very bad off: and, but, the, you, over, under, etc.

So it is indeed questionable whether one can speak of structural words in our two subjects of investigation: in the classical sense, anyway.

If you now consider, however, that the voice users, of which the speech that theirs without this no more harmonious and ichausdrückend to cope in their favor in a position so we come here but in the vicinity of structural words. In a parent, mental sense. Suffice it to say that they are able practically to formulate a sentence without them.

In a narrower sense, however, is a special kind of modal particles This speech is difficult to clearly delineate, but easy to explain. "It was actually quite good."

"Yes" and "actually" and "all" does not appear here in their actual other lexical function but sound only the basic message (or "good") "It was good." So to speak "off", you give a special twist, often even only in conjunction with the appropriate emphasis fairly clearly evident.

But if we perceive that speakers "fuck" (fuckin ') and "motherfucker" almost manic think they have to use as a permanent modal particles, practically in each set, so we did it, although not classified here with a under the category of modal particles, but to do specific linguistic phenomenon.

Because these particles drown even the entire speech from: this is their essential function.

One could, to formulate a technical term for it, so call "soziolektale modal particles", because they are meant solely to give the overall speaking a coloration that characterizes this as a particular social group associated unambiguously.

Namely that of the fuckin 'motherfuckers.
