It would be interesting to see what may be revealed about the phenomenon of vulgarity through a semiotic analysis.
My initial impression/intuition—the vulgar is distinguished not by the denotation but by the cultural connotation associated with a word; it's a negative phenomenon rather than positive, where the vulgar exists precisely in that space between pure description and connoted association.
