ABSTRACT

Phraseological manipulation (PhM) is defined as an intentional and recognizable transformation of a phraseological item with different communicative effects. The relationship between this linguistic procedure and the notion of incongruity — the basic ingredient of a humorous product — is clear. It is also evident that the appropriate use of PhM requires good metalinguistic skills, and this becomes relevant when dealing with children. In this paper we analyse the use of PhM as a linguistic device to trigger humour in 448 narratives written by schoolchildren of three age bands: 8, 10 and 12 years old. Our results are: (1) the use of PhM is scarce at the age of 8 (around 3%), whereas it increases exponentially in 12-year-olds (around 30%); (2) the qualitative approach reveals that children at the age of 8 make a rather epipragmatic use of PhM, which deserves some interesting observations.

摘要

短语操作(PhM)被定义为对具有不同交际效果的短语项目进行有意的和可识别的转换。这种语言程序与不协调概念之间的关系——幽默产品的基本要素——很清楚。同样明显的是,适当使用 PhM 需要良好的元语言技能,这在与儿童打交道时变得重要。在本文中,我们分析了使用 PhM 作为语言工具在 8、10 和 12 岁三个年龄段的学童撰写的 448 篇叙事中引发幽默的情况。我们的结果是:(1)PhM 的使用在 8 岁时很少(约 3%),而在 12 岁(约 30%)中呈指数增长;(2) 定性方法表明 8 岁儿童对 PhM 的使用相当实用,值得一些有趣的观察。
