Unless you see physical signs that he's going through early puberty such as body odor,  hair,  big spurt in height,  etc.,  I think it's pretty safe to assume this isn't puberty.

When girls approach puberty they often become very moody and unpredictable,   but that's not usually the case for boys.  

I agree with Margy and think you need to look elsewhere for this sudden negative turn in his personality.

Could he have learned the shouting and swearing form anyone , children do learn from what they see and hear ?
