A growing tendency can be traced in Ukraine that young women are on equal terms with men in this respect. The authors of the article explored the reasons of using non-standard language by Ukrainian students under modern conditions and specified what should be done to improve their speech culture and eliminate theirswearing. The primary aim of the research is to find out the motives why Ukrainian university students swear in their everyday life. To achieve the goal a special questionnaire was designed. All in all, 118 respondents of 2 age groups participated in the survey. Differences and similarities in using swear words by junior and senior students were investigated according to 3 criteria: motives, types of emotions, recommendations of eliminating or at least minimising this phenomenon. As it is shown by results of the research, the most typical motive of using non-standard language for males and females is the opportunity to express both negative and positive emotions. Neither juniors nor seniors considered it to be extraordinary. Yet, they agreed that various educational activities should be arranged to eliminate the usage of swear words and uplevel the speech culture of university students.  \nKeywords: swear words; university students; Ukraine; motives; emotions; recommendations.  \nIntroduction  \nLanguage is considered the most valuable treasure of every nation. It reflects the culture of the people. The fact that members of the society are using non-standard lexis means something is going wrong in this community. Although swearing has been used by people since ancient times (Ljung, 2011), or even since the emergence of language (Vingerhoets, Bylsma & de Vlam, 2013), the problem of its use in social interaction still remains. It is actualised to a greater degree in modern times because, as Pinker (2007) states, swearing is becoming more acceptable with each new generation.  \nYoung people are observed to be using swear words in public without any humbleness and shyness. It has become a growing trend in the Ukrainian society. Another noticeable tendency is that Ukrainians prefer to use swear words in Russian, even those whose mother tongue is Ukrainian. The mentioned tendency, as it is, may be explained with several reasons. Firstly, a historical reason: 80 per cent of Ukrainian ethnic territory and 85 percent of the Ukrainian population were under Russian empire reign since the 18th century (Grycak, 2019). Its total control was aimed at destroying the national identity of Ukrainians and it lasted until Ukraine became independent in 1991. Due to the dominant position of the Russian language on the Ukrainian territory, people are accustomed to using Russian swearing words. The similar phenomenon is seen when Asian and Arab students swear not in their native language but using English (Finn, 2017, p. 22) . Secondly, because of stricter social constraints and higher speech culture which were originally typical to Ukrainians. Thus, for the majority of young people addressing to non-standard words in Russian seems a good way to avoid breaking social and literary norms ofthe Ukrainian language.  \nThe use of non-standard language (obscene, profanity, taboo words, etc) has been under consideration of scholars in different scientific fields: philology, pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, sociology. From a linguistic point of view, the foreign and Ukrainian researchers investigate forms, usage and real examples of swearing in different languages (Jay & Jay, 2015; Kleputs, 2009) . Thus, McEnery (2006) distinguishes and characterises the following types of swearing","cbCaif80DQYQ7MQQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif80DQYQ7MQQ","pdf",362464,"English","# Introduction\n## Problem of swearing in youth public interaction\n## Linguistic and socio-linguistic research background\n## Psychological and health perspectives\n## Ukrainian scholarly approaches","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary aim of the research?\",\"answer\":\"To identify the motives behind why Ukrainian university students swear in their everyday life.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and how many participants took part?\",\"answer\":\"A special questionnaire was used.
