Ahhhh! I completely forgot to relate my blog entry to the diagram! The use of swear words, which are charged with meaning and incite certain emotions from people definitely falls on the outer parts of the concentric circle. The use of words such as f#*$# are loaded with emotion. Swear words have connotative meanings. Duncan-Andrade clearly used non-academic words to shock, to show solidarity, and to express anger. He did not use euphemisms but rather consciously used dysphemisms.
