Genres of comic institutional discourse

Abstract

Comic institutional discourse refers to the theatrical discourse, according to the nature of communication – to the comic which can also have humorous, satirical and ironic tone depending on the nature of communication. Standup-comedy is an interactive performance of the standup comedian. Integrating verbal and nonverbal means of humor standup comedians aim to create comic tone of communication. Standup-comedy has the following features: the use of different jokes which can be either small (narrative, one-line jokes) or large in the form (comic monologues), stylistic devices (in jokes prevail hyperbole, irony, sarcasm), dynamic character (unexpected ending of jokes and use of simple syntactic structure of sentences), improvisation, contemporary / reality (to use forms of the present time), emotionality. Standup-comedy identifies a number of comic speech genres that are considered to be a result of non-standard, creative thinking of the addressee whose intentions are to achieve a comic effect. Comic genres are formed in a comic institutional communication and must comply with certain rules – cause laughter, be original and interesting. The joke is the main speech genre. There are several types of jokes in standup comedy: one-line jokes, invective, humorous stories, satirical stories, ironic stories. With the help of jokes the standup-comedy reveals contradictions in society, reflects problems of human society and displays moral values.
