Euphémismes/dysphémismes, noms propres et néologismes en anglais Un curieux ménage à trois

The role of euphemisms and dysphemisms is generally restricted to the creation of common nouns, but what about proper nouns? Can euphemisms and dysphemisms play a part in onomastic creation? Conversely, does onomastics play a part in the creation of euphemisms and dysphemisms? Based on an English corpus, the paper examines the three categories of links between onomastics, euphemisms and dysphemisms, so as to assess their respective productivity and the more frequent neological processes.
