Recent linguistic research on humour and conversation has been successfully achieved on
pragmatic and sociolinguistic grounds. My contribution should try to follow this
(bi)methodological trail, deepening on the study of conversation and its implications. I
should call Contextual Contamination (CC) the procedure of linking together different
arguments and scripts in spontaneous talk. CC not only would follow from the well known
given-new information opposition in talk, but would trigger comical sequencing and
colloquial thinking aswell. My second step would undertake Douglas (1975a; 1975b)
analysis on situational coherence in humour. I will approach some issues about mock attack
theory and the collapse of pressuposed script in practical situations. My last point will
approach the narrative constituent of comical performance. Absurd narratives (non
comical) also confront the notional order embedded in natural stories, and we would try to grasp how this contrast works. My conclusions will draw together the narrative and the
conversational dimensions of humour. |
