{"product_id":"language-of-sadomasochism","title":"Language of Sadomasochism","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Language of Sadomasochism\u003c\/i\u003e contains vocabulary and defines activities that many will find offensive. It has been published to aid linguists, folklorists, sociologists, psychologists, and other adult researchers develop a better understanding of this subculture.\n\n\u003ci\u003eThe Language of Sadomasochism\u003c\/i\u003e represents the first systematic, comprehensive account ever attempted of the specialized terminology used by sadomasochists. The work is divided into three distinct sections. Part one provides a thorough introduction to the subculture of sadomasochism, its history in the Western world, and its place in American culture, in literature, and in the work of non-linguist social scientists. Part two is a comprehensive glossary of more than 800 terms currently in use among sadomasochists. For each term the authors provide part-of-speech labels, etymologies, definitions, citations illustrating actual usage, related forms of the word, cross references to semantically and conceptually related terms, and special notes on usage. Part three contains a linguistic analysis of the terminology and illustrates how the language of sadomasochism is related both to the English language as a whole and to the sadomasochists who use the specialized language. The book concludes with a complete bibliography of all references cited, a list of difficult-to-find sadomasochism-related periodicals, and an index providing easy access to groups of semantically and conceptually related terms.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219303059800,"sku":"9780313264818","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780313264818_d114faaf-e212-49dd-ac54-46aac19cd587.jpg?v=1743757245","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/language-of-sadomasochism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
