Sarcasm? Quality Flouting as a Humorous Tool in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

What kind of humor is frequently used in the genre of sitcom? What types of verbal humor can be created when the Quality Maxim is not observed? The present paper examines humor in the genre of sitcom from the pragmatic point of view, more specifically, it analyzes the verbal jokes based on the Cooperative Principle and the Maxims of Conversations defined by H. P. Grice and applies his theory on the data from a popular American sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Quality flouting is often associated with irony and sarcasm, and as we know, ironic and sarcastic jokes go hand in hand with the genre of sitcom, and the viewers of this particular show must have noticed their frequent use for humorous purposes. But is every Quality flouting in sitcoms used for creating sarcastic and ironic jokes? Or is it used as a device for creating verbal humor based on some other type of jokes? The aim of this paper is to analyze how exactly the characters use Maxim non-observance in humorous conversations, especially the previously mentioned type of Quality non-observance, and whether there are any character-specific tendencies and deviations from what might be generally assumed
