For example, people use the euphemistic expression “pass away” to refer to death, instead of using the word “die”, which sounds more appropriate. English euphemism is used widely in English-speaking countries. It’s so useful and important that many people had done a lot of researches about it from different aspects. Although many researchers have put forward a lot of “pragmatic principles”, as we all know, almost all the other principles are originated from the two basic principles: the Co-operative Principle (CP) and the Politeness Principle (PP). These two principles are the main guidance of using euphemisms. If we obey the two principles in using English euphemism, we will get a more successful and harmonious communication in our daily life.
