Abstract

Abstract:This article looks at a selection of Hellenistic epigrams (mostly by Callimachus), focusing on the way they produce humor through verbal ambiguity and subversion of the conventional form and meaning of epigrammatic topoi relating to religion, sexuality, common values and beliefs, and death. A detailed analysis of the epigrams is followed by a general discussion of their ideological orientations, which are shown to resemble the psychological motives for jokes identified by Freud in Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious. Epigrams discussed include Callimachus 10, 13, 23, 28, 30 Pfeiffer, Asclepiades 2 Sens, and Hippon 1 Page.
希腊语警句中的类义歧义与“倾向性”幽默
摘要:本文研究了希腊语警句(主要是卡利马库斯的警句),重点研究了它们如何通过语言歧义和颠覆传统的警句主题形式和意义来产生幽默,这些警句主题涉及宗教、性、共同价值观和信仰以及死亡。在对警句进行详细分析之后,对警句的意识形态取向进行了一般性讨论,这些警句的意识形态取向与弗洛伊德在《笑话及其与无意识的关系》中所确定的笑话的心理动机相似。讨论的警句包括Callimachus 10,13,23,28,30 Pfeiffer, Asclepiades 2 Sens和Hippon 1 Page。
