CUP-BEARING IN THE CONTEXT OF MALE PROSTITUTION: ON EARLY MODERN ENGLISH SYNONYMS OF CALL-BOY
Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2016, Vol 129, Issue
Abstract
The linguistically oriented studies of historical synonyms of male prostitute are definitely in minority among the whole array of analyses into lexical items onomasiologically linked to the conceptual category HUMAN BEING. In the history of linguistics there have been several attempts at accounting for the dark side of the human nature, that is those lexical items that may be qualified as being linked to the category FALLEN HUMAN BEING, for example, Schulz, Rawson, Kleparski and Duda. This paper offers a discussion of Early Modern English synonyms of male prostitute with due attention to various linguistic means as well as conceptual patterns that are documented to have been at work in the formation of cover terms onomasiologically linked to the conceptual microcategory CALL-BOY.
