摘要

对尼日利亚幽默的研究已经从单口相声和计算机媒介传播的角度进行了广泛的研究。关于情景喜剧(情景喜剧)中的幽默,学术界缺乏研究。本文探讨了《杰尼法日记》和《约翰布尔教授》中人物互动中的幽默,以期说明幽默的表现形式、幽默策略的运用以及幽默话语在情景喜剧中的作用。这部作品取材于卡尔佩珀的不礼貌理论。对情景喜剧的八段节选进行了语用分析。在数据中发现了逗乐和鞭挞两种话语功能。前者的作用是促进话语,改变假定的权力和地位,而后者的作用是维护自己的空间和自主性,要求尊重。典故、戏仿、反驳、调侃、玩笑和贬低是情景喜剧中使用的幽默技巧。这项研究证实了早期研究的说法,即幽默在语言使用的各个领域都具有某些功能,超出了创造娱乐的互动需求。

A pragmatic analysis of humour strategies and functions in 'Jenifa's Diary' and 'Professor JohnBull'
Studies on humour in Nigeria have been extensively carried out from the perspectives of stand-up comedy and computer-mediated communication. There is a dearth of scholarly enquiries on humour in situation comedies (sitcoms). This paper investigates humour in the interactions of characters in Jenifa’s Diary and Professor JohnBull, with a view to accounting for the manifestations of humour, the humour strategies deployed and the functions that the humorous utterances serve in the sitcoms. The work is situated in Culpeper’s Impoliteness Theory. Eight excerpts from the sitcoms were subjected to pragmatic analysis. Two discourse functions of amusing and castigating are discovered in the data. The former serves the function of facilitating discourse and changing presumed power and status, while the latter serves the function of maintaining one’s own space and autonomy, and demanding respect. Allusion, parody, retort, tease, banter and putdown are the humour techniques employed in the sitcoms. The study corroborates the claim of earlier studies that humour in every sphere of language use serves certain functions beyond the interactional need to create amusement.
