Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explain the humour in the television series “Teen Wolf” from a semantic point of view. The paper begins by mentioning several theories of humour. Then, Grice’s Cooperative Principle (1975) and the concepts of sarcasm, irony and puns are explained. Then follows the qualitative research made by analysing utterances extracted from the show. The corpus consists of 30 utterances, each of them is explained in detail based on the linguistic expression. The way in which humorous situations are made - by using sarcasm, ignoring Grice’s Conversational Maxims, and somewhat less by using irony and puns - is studied. The analysis showed that the humour in the series is based mainly on sarcasm, which plays a major role in the characterization of the protagonists and in the creation of interpersonal relationships.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog rada je objasniti humour u televizijskoj seriji „Teen Wolf” sa semantičkog gledišta. Rad započinje navođenjem nekoliko teorija humora. Potom je objašnjeno Griceovo načelo suradnje (1975), te pojmovi sarkazam, ironija te dosjetka. Zatim slijedi kvalitativno istraživanje koje je ostvareno analizom citata prikupljenih iz navedene serije. Korpus se sastoji od 30 primjera, svaki od njih podrobno je objašnjen na temelju lingvističkog izričaja. Proučen je način postizanje humourističnih situacija korištenjem sarkazma, ignoriranjem Griceovih razgovornih maksima, te nešto manje korištenjem ironije i igara riječima. Analiza je pokazala kako je u seriji humor baziran uglavnom na sarkazmu, koji igra glavnu ulogu u karakterizaciji pojedinih likova te u kreaciji interpersonalnih odnosa.
