The language is an essential factor to form our social. The relation between people must depend on the language. Language is an important communication tool. Only do people have language, they can work together, have the opportunity to carry on the thought exchange and promote society's development. As an addition kind of language expression,"swear words"exist in our spoken language conversation for a long time. It expresses humanity's complex thought and feeling by the unique connotation. In"swear words","the scold words"is the written language of"the curse words"; both are thought as"using broadness or hostility words to insult the human."Therefore"swear languages"always give a human a kind of inelegant and not polite representation. Most scholars all put the breakthrough point on swear language's origin, classification, constitution, ways to form it, society cultural elements and psychological factors which swear language produces, how swear language evolve along with society's development , as well as rhetoric theory research of swear language itself and so on. These research mostly is about theory aspect research to from the main body linguistics theory. At the moment, it's too few that paying attention to the positive relation functions. In other words, the researches on reality application of swear words are quite few.Based on Sociology methods, in the article we will use the theory of relation linguistics and pragmatis to understand the"swear words"once again. It will pay more attention to positive Communicative Function and Communicative Principles which express. In order to introduce"swear words"objectively and provide more situation about"swear words", we will introduce the production and constitution of"swear words"principally. On the whole, the function which"swear words"manifest in the communication can be divide into two kinds: one is expressing people's thoughts and feelings negatively; the other is positively. Negative expression is just we have mentioned before. Therefore the author will introduce and argue the communicative function of the swear words. This positive function can be divided into different categories according to different meaning of the people, and different districts. So it's necessary for us to argue the positive communicative function of the swear words. Because of the specific parts in Haicheng, this kind of positive communicative function is different from the other districts.The positive and polite function of this special language which presents in the specific communicative environment is quite different from the other languages. Thus it has the reality to exist. In some way, refusing the swear words entirely is completely not correct, also is impossible. Let Chinese users to know and use it from different points of view, then our language life can be more rich and colorful.
