Анотация: The current study is dedicated to the question of frequency of swearing by Russian female native speakers effected by the factor of sexual orientation. The research sets a goal to provide self-reported data on the degree of swearing to determine if the socio-linguistic factor of sexual orientation can cause dissimilarities in taboo language use in the analyzed communities of practice. The scope of the research also touches upon the question of influence of diverse situational variables on language behavior in terms of swearing. In the course of the study an anonymous questionnaire was employed as an instrument of data collection. The results show higher rates of swearing among lesbian women. The author proposes an explanation of the data received assuming that by swearing excessively lesbians in Russia try to distance themselves from heterosexual and vulnerable women whose language behavior is expected to be pure and feminine in Russian patriarchal society and governed by maleimposed rules.
