Metapragmatics of humor
Variability, negotiability and adaptability in humorous monologues
Leonor Ruiz-Gurillo | University of Alicante, GRIALE Research Group
The main aim of this paper is to propose a theoretical model for the study of humor as a metapragmatic ability, the so-called metapragmatics of humor (MH). After offering a short overview, humor will be analyzed from the conception of metapragmatics according to Verschueren (1999), (2000), (2009). Considering humor as a continuous choice where variability, negotiability, and adaptability become key notions, the knowledge resources in the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH) (Attardo and Raskin 1991; Attardo 2001a, 2008; Ruiz-Gurillo, 2012) will be understood as metapragmatic awareness processes. Our proposal intends to integrate the productive process of the writer/speaker along with the interpretative process of the reader/listener. Finally, this metapragmatics of humor will be applied to humorous monologues.
