This article examines the pragmatic functions of euphemistic expressions in modern English communication. Euphemisms are polite or indirect words used to avoid harsh, unpleasant, or socially sensitive meanings. In everyday communication, people use euphemisms to show respect, maintain social harmony, protect the listener’s feelings, and reduce the negative impact of taboo topics. The study explains different types of euphemistic expressions, such as softening words, indirect phrases, culturally polite terms, and professional euphemisms used in media, education, and workplaces. It explores how euphemistic language changes depending on context, culture, and communicative goals. Examples from real-life conversations, online communication, and public speech demonstrate how euphemisms influence meaning and social relationships.
