Gender and Identity in Humorous Discourse Genero e identidad en el discurso humorístico
Gender is a social construction. Humorous discourse is a tool used by speakers. Identity can be negociated in interaction.
El Monólogo Humorístico Subversivo en Español
El libro El monólogo humorístico subversivo en español: pragmática, humor verbal y construcción discursiva del género realiza un análisis pragmático y discursivo de este género teatral. A lo largo de los diferentes capítulos, se examina la construcción discursiva de la identidad de género femenina en tales monólogos, partiendo de la idea de que este tipo de humor funciona como un instrumento para el desafío de las expectativas sobre determinadas actitudes y conductas tradicionalmente asociadas a la mencionada identidad. La investigación realizada demuestra que el tipo de discurso subversivo representado en la comedia en vivo supone una compleja combinación de estrategias, objetos de burla, temáticas y elementos lingüísticos para lograr deconstruir, de forma jocosa, las nociones tradicionales sobre la feminidad. De hecho, los datos obtenidos confirman que las cómicas analizadas emplean diferentes estrategias retórico-pragmáticas para distanciarse lingüísticamente del mensaje, sin alejarse del oyente e incluso acercándose a algunos sectores.
The Pragmatics of Humour in Interactive Contexts
Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in interactional humour from social and pragmatic perspectives, with fascinating results. Released more than a decade later than Norrick and Chiaro (2009) Humor in Interaction, The Pragmatics of Humour in Interactive Contexts gathers some of the most recent work on humour in interaction, with contributions taking (meta)pragmatic approaches to the analysis of various genres of interactive humour in both online and offline settings. This volume illustrates that a range of methodologies and perspectives can be applied to the study of such a complex phenomenon. These include analyses with a cognitive orientation and with multimodal approaches, work based on Relevance Theory, the General Theory of Verbal Humour, and Conversation Analysis, among others. In addition, all the authors represented here are recognised experts on the subject, and in most cases, are leading specialists in their respective fields. The book can be of use not only to scholars who study the linguistics of humour in interaction but also to students who wish to pursue research in the area.
Pragmatics of Internet Humour
This book provides a first thorough analysis of internet humour from a cognitive-pragmatic perspective, covering a wide range of discourses that are pervasive online and focusing especially on messaging interactions, social networking sites and memes. Its chapters describe the inferential strategies implemented to turn online coded discourses into meaningful interpretations, which in turn can be devised and manipulated for the sake of humour. Furthermore, and apart from the typical object of pragmatic research (humorous discourses), the book emphasises the importance of the interfaces’ design and of the qualities of the users engaged in humorous interactions (called contextual constraints)...
Humorous Discourse
This book attempts to discuss selected but thorny issues of humor research that form the major stumbling blocks as well as challenges in humor studies at large and thus merit insightful discussion. Any discourse is action, so the text-creation process is always set in a non-verbal context, built of a social and communicative situation, and against the background of relevant culture. On the other hand, humor scholars claim that humorous discourse has its special, essential features that distinguish it from other discourses. The pragmatic solution to the issue of potential circularity of humor defined in terms of discourse and discourse in terms of humor seems only feasible, and thus there is a need to discuss the structure and mechanisms of humorous texts and humorous performances. The chapters in the present volume, contributed by leading scholars in the field of humor studies, address the issues from various theoretical perspectives, from contextual semantics through General Theory of Verbal Humor, cognitive linguistics, discourse studies, sociolinguistics, to Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor, providing an excellent overview of the field to novices and experts alike.
Stimmenvielfalt im Monolog
Redewiedergabe ist in Form von direkter oder indirekter Rede in unserem Alltag omnipräsent, auch von wissenschaftlicher Seite kann sie als umfassend beschrieben gelten. Die vorliegende Monographie stellt einerseits im deutschsprachigen Raum wenig rezipierte theoretische Modellierungen vor und nimmt andererseits Redewiedergabe speziell als Phänomen gesprochener Sprache in den Blick. Dabei werden prosodische, nonverbale und funktionale Charakteristika auf der Grundlage eines Korpus aus spanischen Stand-up-Acts, evangelikalen Predigten und wissenschaftlichen Vorträgen herausgearbeitet. Der Fokus auf das Spanische erlaubt es auch, bislang nur unzureichend untersuchte einzelsprachliche Besonderheiten wie die Verwendung von spanischen redekennzeichnenden Verben und Zitatmarkern sowie die Markierung von Redewiedergabe auf prosodischer Ebene zu analysieren.
The Philosophy of (Im)politeness
This book explores what new light philosophical approaches shed on a deeper understanding of (im)politeness. There have been numerous studies on linguistic (im)politeness, however, little attention has been paid to its philosophical underpinnings. This book opens new avenues for both (im)politeness and philosophy. It contributes to a fruitful dialogue among philosophy, pragmatics, and sociology. This volume appeals to students and researchers in these fields.
The Dynamics of Interactional Humor
This book deals with the construction of diverse forms of humor in everyday oral, written, and mediatized interactions. It sheds light on the differences and, most importantly, the similarities in the production of interactional humor in face-to-face and various technology-mediated forms of communication, including scripted and non-scripted situations. The chapters analyze humor-related issues in such genres as spontaneous conversations, broadcast dialogues, storytelling, media blogs, bilingual conversations, stand-up comedy, TV documentaries, drama series, family sitcoms, Facebook posts, and internet memes. The individual authors trace how speakers collaboratively circulate, reconstruct, an...
Humour and Relevance
This book offers a cognitive-pragmatic, and specifically relevance-theoretic, analysis of different types of humorous discourse, together with the inferential strategies that are at work in the processing of such discourses. The book also provides a cognitive pragmatics description of how addressees obtain humorous effects. Although the inferences at work in the processing of normal, non-humorous discourses are the same as those employed in the interpretation of humour, in the latter case these strategies (and also the accessibility of contextual information) are predicted and manipulated by the speaker (or writer) for the sake of generating humorous effects. The book covers aspects of research on humour such as the incongruity-resolution pattern, jokes and stand-up comedy performances. It also offers an explanation of why ironies are sometimes labelled as humorous, and proposes a model for the translation of humorous discourses, an analysis of humour in multimodal discourses such as cartoons and advertisements, and a brief exploration of possible tendencies in relevance-theoretic research on conversational humour.
