Estudio del formante -ina y -oide como sufijo de creación léxica con efectos cómicos en la red social Twitter

This research aims to examine humor as a pragmatic-social phenomenon applied to the use of two Greco-Latin formants with comic intention. This objective seeks to demonstrate the use of two elements with Greco-Latin roots in the formation of a humorous pattern that manifests itself in the virtual environment. To achieve this, both suffixes have been applied to lexical bases that are in principle unrelated to these elements. This research will provide a brief explanation of the suffixes -ina and -oide, commonly used in the scientific-technical field, but in this case they are adopted by speakers as a strategy to generate comedy in the virtual environment of the social network Twitter. Finally, the General Theory of Verbal Humor will be applied to the 756 tweets that make up the compiled corpus. A pragmatic analysis of the most representative texts in which both suffixes published on said platform are used will be presented and will serve as an example of such uses.
