Abstract EN
The current study deals with the theoretical part of the English euphemisms and their Arabic equivalents.
Death euphemism is an area that should be considered for its importance and may due to the fact that the original words might offend, disturb, or embarrass the addressee.
The current study hypothesizes that death euphemism is a typical and common cultural phenomenon in both English and Arabic.
The study aims at investigating the euphemistic death expressions and words as well as showing the reasons behind using such expressions.
Practically, some selected related examples of both English and Arabic have been tackled.
Finally, it can be concluded that death euphemism is a universal phenomenon.
