Secrets of the body and secrets of the language with the Slavs

Abstract

In his thorough treatise on secrets of the body and secrets of the language, the author deals with the close connection of the body with the language, realized through speech processes in the brain and vocal organs, also naming several body parts in Slavonic languages. From this broader aspect, which also includes two chapters on taboos in linguistics and Slavonic obscene vocabulary lexicography, the author thoroughly discusses "the strongest words" in Slavonic languages, i.e. names for the membrum virile, i.e. the male sex organ, making several very interesting discoveries and enabling us a deeper understanding of the language and human existence.
