The one-dimensional spin-S J_1-J_2 XY model is studied within the bosonization approach. Around the two limits (J_2/J_1 ≪ 1,J_2/J_1 ≫ 1) where a field theoretical analysis can be derived, we discuss the phases as well as the different phase transitions that occur in the model. In particular, it is found that the chiral critical spin nematic phase, first discovered by Nersesyan et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 910 (1998)) for S=1/2, exists in the general spin-S case. The nature of the effective
