THE ORIGIN OF PROFANITY.
Llnguistically 1t Is Primarily Due to .
Desire for Emphasis.

One proposition there is which
needs to be stated emphatically at this
point, writes Prof Thomas r. Louns
bury, in Harper's. Words anc. phrases
which are amply sufficient for the un
derstanding are often altogether made
quate for the expression of the feel
ings. The result of this mental dissat
is$action with the communication OF
mere knowledge is most conspicuous
ly illustrated in the wide prevalence
of profanity. Into the discussion OF this
practice it's moral and religious as.
pect does not enter at all. 1t is pure
ly from the linguistic side that 1t is
here to be considered. So looked at,
its existence and the extent of the in
dulgence in it bear out the truth OF
the principle just announced. What
ever intellectual justification there
may be for profanity is based upon the
fact that men are aiming to state
strongly what they feel strongly. The
habit is, in consequence, subject to the
general law governing intensives.
To very great extent the practice
of swearing is specially characteristic
of rude and imperfect civilization.
With the advance of culture profanity
declines. 1t declines not so much be-
cause men become peculiarly sensitive
to its viciousness, but they do to it's
ineffectiveness. The growth of refine
ment both in the individual and in
the community tends more to its dis
use than all the exhortations of NOR
alists or the rebukes of divines. Much
must always be allowed in the case of
particular persons for the influence of
early training and association. Ex-
ceptions are, therefore, too numerous
to lay down any positive rule; still, it
is safe to say in general that mans
intellectual development is largely de-
termined by the extent of his indulg
ence in profanity. No one, indeed,
doubts its wide prevalence at the pres
ent time. But compared to the prac-
tice of the past, it has been steadily,
even IL slowly, diminishing for CEN
turies. This does not prove that men
are better morally or intellectually
than they were. 1t does show, however,
that there exists now a higher aver
age of cultivation, which renders the
habit distasteful to increasingly large
numbers.
