摘要

本文对西班牙语中级ESL学习者的笑话识别、欣赏和理解进行了探索性研究。本研究基于笑话的关联理论分类,该分类假设幽默是由三个参数的操纵引起的:意义框架、文化信息和话语解释。它首先确定了西班牙语ESL学习者是否认可口头传递的七种据称是诙谐的文本样本。其次,它考察了这些学习者是否真的认为这些文本是滑稽的,以及为什么。最后,它研究了学习者的解释问题,以找出哪种笑话类型更具挑战性。该研究依赖于通过包括四项任务的在线问卷得出的定量和定性数据。研究结果表明,笑话识别和欣赏之间没有相关性,成功的笑话识别独立于复杂的解释技能。涉及激活的有意义框架无效的笑话最容易识别,也最有趣,但利用取消最初看似合理的解释的笑话带来了更多困难。

Joke identification, comprehension and appreciation by Spanish intermediate ESL learners: an exploratory study
This paper reports on an exploratory study examining joke identification, appreciation and comprehension by Spanish intermediate ESL learners. The study is based on a relevance-theoretic classification of jokes, which assumes that humorousness results from manipulation of three parametres: make-sense frames, cultural information and utterance interpretation. It firstly ascertains whether Spanish ESL learners recognise orally-delivered samples of seven types of purportedly jocular texts. Secondly, it examines whether these learners actually regard such texts as comical and why. Finally, it looks into the learners’ interpretative problems in order to single out which joke type(s) is/are more challenging. The study relies on quantitative and qualitative data elicited through an online questionnaire comprising four tasks. The results indicate no correlation between joke identification and appreciation, and independence of successful joke recognition from sophisticated interpretative skills. Jokes involving invalidation of an activated make-sense frame were most easily identified and found most funny, but jokes exploiting cancellation of an initial, seemingly plausible, interpretation posed more difficulties.
