THE BEINGS OF SARCASM: TONING THE PUNS IN LANGUAGE.
- Authors
Chacko, Saumya
- Abstract
Writers use sarcasm to criticize everything from religion and government to philosophers and other writers. Sarcasm is often even less understood in online communication. However it is a widely acceptedform of communication, verbal or text which can be evidently explained through the medium of linguistics as well. The research aims at a comparative study between two major characters (Chandler Bing and Sheldon Cooper), contrasting at the levels of sarcasm, in order to provide a better understanding of the ideal concept of sarcasm and its usage. Although significant studies have been revised regarding pun but sarcasm has been paid less attention, especially in terms of pragmatics or intonation. The study does not provide a detailed insight into the various concepts of sarcasm or its usage butjust analyses it in terms of how language andvariousfactors in language create and affect sarcasm.
