TABOO IN TEXTBOOKS OF SLOVENE AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Katarzyna Bednarska

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of some taboo topics that are present in Slovenian society and should be understood by foreigners who wish to participate in the Slovenian culture. By analyzing six modern textbooks of Slovene as a foreign language (levels A1 to B1), considering such topics as intimate body parts, relationships, death or illnesses, the author seeks for problematic content, describes the way the textbooks deal with it and lists out vocabulary that can be acquired. The author concludes that the majority of analyzed textbooks avoid taboo topics.
