The Humorous use of the Contrast Between Standard Educated English and Local Dialect in Scottish Jokes
Christie Davies
Abstract
Wiele dowcipów wykorzystuje jako dodatkowy element humorystyczny stylizację na rozmowę osób o różnym statusie społecznym, mówiących różnymi odmianami tego samego języka. Osoba o wyższej pozycji używa standardowej odmiany języka (w tym przypadku angielskiego), natomiast osoba o niższym statusie społecznym posługuje się w większym lub mniejszym zakresie formą lokalnego dialektu (w tym przypadku szkockiego-angielskiego). Efektywność tego rodzaju stylizacji zależy od tego, na ile lokalna odmiana języka znana jest odbiorcy.
