Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify semantic models of humorous utterances that express the stereotypical ideas of the lawyers’ professional community about the content of the categories of its participants in informal settings. The research methodology integrates two approaches: a critical analysis of discourse and a semantic approach to humour based on scripts by Salvatore Attardo and Victor Raskin. We applied the following analysis model: (1) discursive analysis of texts in accordance with the procedure presented in the papers of foreign and Russian scholars; (2) analysis of humour in accordance with the six-level model of analysis proposed by Attardo; (3) as the research includes transformed statements consisting of a complex of elements and their interrelationships to varying degrees, the methodology is supplemented by the theory of conceptual integration developed by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. The research methods are: discourse analysis, including standard techniques of communicative-pragmatic and semantic analysis; content analysis, the semantic categories of which are the parameters of the sociocommunicative level of the model, and the units are their typical lexical markers. The data include Internet memes constituting the content of professional legal groups on the social networks Instagram and Facebook. The data include 260 units. The analysis revealed a quantitative predominance in Internet memes expressing the subjects of legal discourse of models based on contrast and referential humour. The semantic dominants actualised in such models coincide with the stereotypical attitudes currently existing in society in relation to the legal community and its professional participants. The uneven distribution of models in accordance with the categories of participants indicates the predominance of reflection in relation to several professional participants – an advocate and a lawyer: intensity of professional activity and high fatigue, prestige of professional status and high social responsibility of professional participants, competence and professionalism (unprofessionalism), complexity and incomprehensibility of the language, high profit. In relation to non-professional participants (client/ accused/ defendant/ respondent/ witness), the stereotypes about their stupidity, greed, arrogance, venality are replicated. Referential models are distinguished by the diversity of the subjects represented and the uniformity of the meanings expressed: the subject’s originality of thinking, cunningness and resourcefulness. Semantic models based on conceptual integration were identified only in relation to professional participants – a lawyer. They actualise such values as professionalism, reliability, competence; stress associated with responsibility at work, danger and charm of the profession, special status; superiority; friendliness; help and superpowers of the professional.
“话语参与者”范畴的语言认知建模(基于社交网络律师专业群体网络模因语料库)
本研究的目的是识别幽默话语的语义模型,这些幽默话语表达了律师专业团体对非正式环境中参与者类别内容的刻板印象。研究方法整合了两种方法:话语的批判性分析和基于萨尔瓦多·阿塔多和维克多·拉斯金剧本的幽默语义分析。我们采用了以下分析模型:(1)按照国外和俄罗斯学者论文中提出的程序对文本进行话语分析;(2)根据Attardo提出的六层分析模型对幽默进行分析;(3)由于研究包含了由复杂的要素及其不同程度的相互关系组成的转换陈述,因此该方法论得到了Gilles Fauconnier和Mark Turner提出的概念整合理论的补充。研究方法有:语篇分析,包括交际语用分析和语义分析的标准技术;内容分析,其语义范畴是模型社会交际水平的参数,单位是其典型的词汇标记。这些数据包括构成社交网络Instagram和Facebook上专业法律团体内容的网络表情包。数据包括260个单位。分析发现,表达法律话语主体的网络模因在数量上占主导地位的是基于对比和参考幽默的模式。在这些模型中实现的语义优势与目前社会上存在的与法律界及其专业参与者有关的刻板态度相吻合。模型根据参与者类别的不均匀分布表明,在几个专业参与者(律师和律师)中,反思占主导地位:专业活动的强度和高度疲劳,专业参与者的专业地位的声望和高度的社会责任,能力和专业(非专业),语言的复杂性和不可理解性,高利润。对于非专业的参与者(当事人/被告/被告/被告/证人),关于他们愚蠢、贪婪、傲慢、唯利是图的刻板印象被复制。参考模型的特点是所代表主体的多样性和所表达意义的统一性:主体的独创性思维、狡猾和足智多谋。基于概念整合的语义模型仅与专业参与者(律师)相关。他们实现了专业、可靠、胜任等价值观;与工作责任、职业危险和魅力、特殊地位相关的压力;优势;友善;专业人士的帮助和超能力。
