Abstract
In recent years, humor studies have swiftly expanded into a very appealing topic of study. Scholars’ interest in linguistic fields of comedy has increased dramatically. Humor appears in many forms, such as sitcoms, sketches, jokes, and comedy movies. The research depends on the qualitative method of analysis as the data is in the form of written words and not the numbers represented in the selected comedy conversations. The research aims to provide a linguistic analysis of some comedy animation movies. The analysis is based on five comedy animation movies, and some comedy conversations are selected that create humorous ends. The research uses some linguistic theories from pragmatics and humor such as the general theory of verbal humor, Grice maxims for pragmatics, and a verbal analysis of some linguistic features that appear throughout the movies’ conversations. The research also aims to answer some questions concerning the ways and tools of analysis that create humorous ends and the different implied meanings of humor in such conversations. It also shows the relationship between humor and pragmatics in linguistic studies. The results of the research indicate the role of context for analysis. They also show the different linguistic features that appear through the analysis and the role of pragmatics, humor, and discourse analysis in the conversations to create laughter. The results also suggest some linguistic approaches that can be used for analysis, such as semiotic, sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic. They can be applied to other kinds of movies and can also be applied to make a comparison between some English and Arabic movies.
