Construction of Humor in American Late Night Talk Show
Original language description
This paper presents a study of humor in American late night talk show. First, the discourse produced in talk shows is characterized as semi-institutional, and then the paper demonstrates how humor is constructed within such discourse. The focus is mainly on the discursive strategies of the host, whose role in the institutional setting entails navigating the discourse and ensuring that humor, an integral element of talk shows, is present. The concept of the humor act as defined by V. Raskin is employed in order to examine who assumes the roles of the speaker and the hearer in the humor act, and how the stimulus is created.
