Taboos which exist in all languages represent the language layer reflecting the culture of the given society. Currently, the use of taboos is conditioned by the context in which they are used. <br/ >The present article attempts to examine the use of taboos by English and Armenian native speakers. The results of the experiment once again prove the dependence of taboos on the cultural environment the person lives in.
The study of the appearance and disappearance of taboos in various languages can demonstrate the social and cultural developments in the societies where the given language is used.
