The authors examine the functions of taboos in various cultural and religious contexts, emphasizing their role in maintaining social order and preserving collective values. Special attention is given to religious taboos, including prohibitions on certain words and actions, as well as linguistic taboos that manifest in everyday communication and professional settings.
