Answer the following prompt using a word processor, and then upload your essay in .doc or .pdf format. Your answer should be double-spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font, and should be two pages long (not counting tables, examples, figures, references, etc.—those are all free). Where appropriate, use italics to indicate mention qua word and single quotes to indicate mention qua meaning. To answer the question, you may (should) consult any sources you like, but cite your sources in the text and include full references at the end; plagiarism will not be tolerated. Be specific, use examples to illustrate your points, and provide evidence to support your points.

 

 

All right, here's the exam question:

 

 

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 and how it functions in Earth culture.
