Taboo affects everyone's daily life in one way or another because of the natural use of language. Countless words are considered taboo, such as words related to religion, sex, the human body, and other related types. Many of these words are the result of major events such as migration, urbanization, wars and depressions (Muho, 2014) Taboo is universal and almost exists in different cultures This research paper on the topic "The Use Of Taboo Words And Expressions In Today’s Society" deals with the social aspect of language, more specifically, it deals with the sociolinguistic aspect of the use of taboo expressions The aim of this study is to analyze the use of taboo words and expressions in Kosovar society. Since society determines what is appropriate to use in language, and what is not. It is a changing interaction between language and society. Through this research, we aim to identify which words are considered taboo, how many types of taboo words exist in the Albanian language, and which words have lost their taboo character.
