Abstract Details

2000, Master of Arts in English, Youngstown State University, Department of Languages.
This thesis expands and deepens linguistic theory as well as applies the resulting concepts empirically. The first sections outline linguistic humor theory in general, and Raskin's Semantic Script Theory (SSTH, 1985) as well as the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH, Attardo and Raskin 1991) in particular. The following theoretical sections redefine the GTVH’s concept of logical mechanism – as most intricately connected to both the textual-narrative and the cognitive aspects of textual humor – in terms of set theory and expand the arsenal of the GTVH’s tools to make it applicable to humorous narratives
