Abstract

The term aeschrologism is given to all those words and phrases which fulfil three conditions: they belong to a linguistic standard, they are widely used but, in spite of that, they are considered taboo so therefore are not used freely in social circles, above all because of their sexual connotations. As they are deemed taboo, the teaching of aeschrologisms is not readily available in language manuals (in this case, in German manuals for Spanish speakers), nor do they have systematic entries in bilingual dictionaries. This contribution will therefore point out the existing contradictions between their frequent use and their absence in lexicographic works and German didactic works with a view to promoting and correcting this anomaly.
