在南部非洲，语言禁忌仍然相当普遍，使妇女面临两难境地，要么违背传统，要么同意在交流中进行彻底的自我审查。本文是探索性的，探讨了hlonipha的可能的理由，并讨论了hlonipha的语言，社会和道德的影响，它勾勒出一个快速变化的社会中的青年妇女所面临的困境，汇集了未发表的来源和非正式的采访和与学生和学者在莱索托国立大学和南非的讨论数据的材料。
关键词：Hlonipha，语言禁忌，妇女在南部非洲。
Linguistic taboos are still quite widespread in Southern Africa, confronting women with the dilemma of either contravening tradition or agreeing to a radical self-censorship in their communication. This paper, which is exploratory in nature, examines possible rationales for hlonipha and discusses the linguistic, social and ethical implications of hlonipha. It sketches the dilemma young women are faced within a rapidly changing society, bringing together material from unpublished sources and data from informal interviews and discussions with students and academics at the National University of Lesotho and in South Africa.
Key words: Hlonipha, linguistic taboos, women in Southern Africa.
