현대중국어 유머 언어의 인지적 분석

Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between the humor mechanism and figurative language of the comedy program <Talk Show Conference>, which is very popular in China, focusing on rhetorical techniques. Humor is a kind of language play, but it is also closely related to society and culture. As much as the content of speech is important, the effect of humor is more prominent depending on the environment in which speech is made, because the social and cultural background acts as a decoding code for us to understand humor. As a result of analyzing the types of humor in <Talk Show Conference>, the fact that there was a lot of satire and philosophical humor throughout seasons 1 to 4 would be a proof that popular culture is closely related to society. The popularity of the program is very meaningful in that humor exists at the intersection of society, culture and language. As a result of analyzing the rhetoric of 111 texts, focusing on satire and philosophical humor, it was confirmed that 'figurative language' was used a lot among the humor languages of <Talk Show Conference>. Also, it was interesting that metaphor, not exaggeration, accounted for the most weight among them.
