  • PURELY LINGUISTIC TABOO/GOOD LUCK LANGUAGE and ITS IMPACT on BEHAVIORS in CHINA by Suying Yang
    PURELY LINGUISTIC TABOO/GOOD LUCK LANGUAGE AND ITS IMPACT ON BEHAVIORS IN CHINA by Suying Yang In recent decades, increased attention has been given to taboo phenomena and the study of taboo language has been considered as 'central to any full understanding of linguistic beliefs and linguistic behavior' (Bolton and Hutton 1995:163). However, the fact that semantically neutral words/expressions may become taboo/good luck language for purely linguistic reasons, such as the associative processes of linking a word with its homophone or with its antonym, has not received due attention so far. In this study, we examined, from both the social and linguistic perspectives, linguistically derived or purely linguistic taboo/good luck words/expressions collected from different sources. The social perspective reveals that our data fall into seven categories of life, including 'poverty-prosperity'; 'bad luck/good luck'; 'infertility/fertility'; 'conflict /harmony'; 'demotion/promotion'; 'death/longevity'; and 'good personal qualities', reflecting to a great extent the biggest concerns/fears of the general public in present China. The linguistic examination shows that most purely linguistic taboo/good luck words/expressions are absolute homophones of their corresponding factual taboo/good luck words/expressions. However, associations also take place between near homophones, when certain conditions are met. 1. Introduction In Chinese culture, many semantically neutral words/expressions1 may become taboo or good luck language merely because they are associated with some factual taboo/good luck words/expressions for purely linguistic reasons. These linguistically derived (purely linguistic) taboo/good luck words/expressions will then influence social behaviors. A real life story may serve as an illustration of this phenomenon.

Magnini May 2, 2012 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: destination attractiveness, superstition attitude, behavioral intention, superstition as destination attractiveness (SADA) The Effects of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness on Behavioral Intention Yunzhou Zhang ABSTRACT Superstitious beliefs date back thousands of years and continue to the present, and research suggests that superstitious beliefs have a robust influence on product satisfaction and decision making under risk. The study therefore examines how superstition attitude will impact potential tourists’ intention to visit a destination so that relevant organizations (e.g. destination management/marketing organizations) could better understand potential tourists’ behaviors, identify a niche market encompassing those prone to superstition, and tailor the tourism products to the needs and beliefs of potential tourists. The study used a survey instrument which consists of four components: the scale of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness (SADA), the revised Paranormal Belief Scale, the measurement of Intention to Visit, and respondents’ demographics and travel experiences.

Taiwan has a rich history and culture of superstitions that are still present today. Some of these superstitions are unique to the hospital setting. For example, many employees will avoid eating pineapple out of fear of increasing their busyness or workload. Previous research has looked at Taiwanese nurses, but none have considered superstitious use among other hospital workers. This study builds on previous research by including a broader range of hospital employees. After conducting fifteen semi-structured interviews, themes were identified from the data. Several themes emerged to exlpain how employees arrived at their superstitions [as defined by Womack, 1992. Also see Appendix A]. These include social pressure, groupthink, and logical fallacies. Regarding employee's perceptions of impact, key themes related to stress, the need for control, illusory pattern perception, cognitive dissonance, and shaming. This study may be useful for nurses, doctors and managers of hospital employees to (a) make sense of why superstitions seem to be so common in Taiwanese hospitals and (b) the possible implications of these superstitious beliefs.
