초록

This paper investigates humor from a cognitive approach and classifies the characteristics of linguistic ambiguity that creates the sense of incongruity, which is essential in humor. The processes of incongruity resolution are discussed with reference to the theory of bisociation. According to the typology as proposed here, the ambiguity bringing forth incongruity in humor may fall under one or more of the following three categories depending on the levels of language: (i) ambiguity at the lexical level, e.g., one from phonological similarity, lexical ambiguity, and categorial vagueness, or (ii) ambiguity at the structural level, e.g., structural ambiguity and sentential ambiguity, or (iii) ambiguity at the discourse level, e.g., deviation from discourse presupposition. This paper presents the notion of bisociation, a process involved in the resolution of incongruity. It argues that bisociation is triggered by such cognitive processes as analogy, reanalysis, metonymy, metaphor and conceptual blending, and further that these mechanisms, often resorted to in explanation of language change, can be employed in interpretation of humor as well.

Abstract

This paper investigates humor from a cognitive approach and classifies the characteristics of linguistic ambiguity that creates the sense of incongruity, which is essential in humor. The processes of incongruity resolution are discussed with reference to the theory of bisociation. According to the typology as proposed here, the ambiguity bringing forth incongruity in humor may fall under one or more of the following three categories depending on the levels of language: (i) ambiguity at the lexical level, e.g., one from phonological similarity, lexical ambiguity, and categorial vagueness, or (ii) ambiguity at the structural level, e.g., structural ambiguity and sentential ambiguity, or (iii) ambiguity at the discourse level, e.g., deviation from discourse presupposition. This paper presents the notion of bisociation, a process involved in the resolution of incongruity. It argues that bisociation is triggered by such cognitive processes as analogy, reanalysis, metonymy, metaphor and conceptual blending, and further that these mechanisms, often resorted to in explanation of language change, can be employed in interpretation of humor as well.
