Abstract

The Grammy Awards is an annual event of American music industry. This ceremony is closely linked to the award acceptance speeches given by each category's nominee winners. In order to preserve their image, celebrities typically pay attention to word choice. The research objective is to analyze how positive politeness strategies are linguistically realized and function pragmatically in acceptance speeches. Nine selected speeches by Grammy Award winners were analyzed using the positive politeness strategies theory proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987). By using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were described based on their sub-categories. Therefore, the result of the study showed that eleven of the fifteen positive politeness sub-categories are generally found in the award acceptance speech. By employing positive politeness strategies, celebrities are able to construct a positive public image, which enhances their likability and public perception.

Abstract

Humor in spoken interaction often relies on phonological manipulation to create ambiguity and generate comedic effects. This study aims to analyze the types of wordplay found in the Dad Jokes YouTube channel and to examine how sound-based manipulation contributes to humor creation in spoken interaction. The data were analyzed using Dirk Delabastita’s theory of wordplay, which includes homonymy, homophony, homography, and paronymy. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method by identifying jokes containing wordplay from selected videos in the Celebrity Dad Jokes playlist. The findings showed that paronymy was the most dominant type, occurring in 62 out of 120 identified data, followed by homonymy (30 data), homophony (27 data), and homography (1 datum). The results also demonstrated that prosodic features, particularly pauses and intonation, contributed to humor creation by triggering ambiguity, reinterpretation, and surprise through wordplay. The study concludes that phonological features play a significant role in shaping humor in spoken dad jokes on YouTube.
