The types and functions of humor in the work of a United States Senator
This study investigates the role interactional competence plays in the performance of political roles by examining
the use of humor in events such as speeches, election campaign rallies, press briefings and televised news interviews. In this
case study of a prominent United States Senator (the late Senator Edward Kennedy), twenty publically available video recordings
from the C-SPAN online archives are analyzed using a conversation analytic approach. Two main types of humor were found in these
data, self-deprecatory humor and humor that criticizes others. Three main functions of humor were identified (subtle
self-promotion, managing challenging political and interactional situations, and creating solidarity with an audience). The
results of this study contribute to our understanding of how humor can play a role in doing the work of a Senator.
期刊介绍：
In our post-Cartesian times human abilities are regarded as integrated and interacting abilities. Speaking, thinking, perceiving, having emotions need to be studied in interaction. Integration and interaction take place in dialogue. Scholars are called upon to go beyond reductive methods of abstraction and division and to take up the challenge of coming to terms with the complex whole. The conclusions drawn from reasoning about human behaviour in the humanities and social sciences have finally been proven by experiments in the natural sciences, especially neurology and sociobiology. What happens in the black box, can now, at least in part, be made visible. The journal intends to be an explicitly interdisciplinary journal reaching out to any discipline dealing with human abilities on the basis of consilience or the unity of knowledge. It is the challenge of post-Cartesian science to tackle the issue of how body, mind and language are interconnected and dialogically put to action. The journal invites papers which deal with ‘language and dialogue’ as an integrated whole in different languages and cultures and in different areas: everyday, institutional and literary, in theory and in practice, in business, in court, in the media, in politics and academia. In particular the humanities and social sciences are addressed: linguistics, literary studies, pragmatics, dialogue analysis, communication and cultural studies, applied linguistics, business studies, media studies, studies of language and the law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology and others. The journal Language and Dialogue is a peer reviewed journal and associated with the book series Dialogue Studies, edited by Edda Weigand.
