520    Who uses dirty words? And when? How is the bad language we
       use reflected in the movies, in the courts, and elsewhere?
       With Cursing in America, psychologist Timothy Jay presents
       the first serious and extensive examination of American 
       profanity from a psycholinguistic-contextual point of 
       view. An amazing amount of factual data gathered through 
       several field studies and numerous laboratory-based 
       experiments reveals the relationship between cursing and 
       language acquisition, anger expression, gender stereotypes
       and offensiveness. Sexual harassment, censorship, language
       content of film, obscene phone calls and cursing at public
       schools are some of the topics which are analyzed and 
       related to the data. Word-by-word tables demonstrate the 
       influence that factors such as frequency of occurrence, 
       degree of offensiveness, and gender and age of the speaker
       have on obscene language usage in America today.
