Imagine that you have been sent to the newly discovered planet of Utaboopia that is inhabited by a population of humans. After learning how to communicate with them you find that they do not have any type of taboo language within their culture. Write a scientific article for the Utaboopians explaining what taboo language is, how it functions, and why it exists in Earth culture. Hypothesize about why Utaboopians lack taboo language and what it means for their culture; propose future research to test your hypothesis.
