Abstract

This research investigates the use of camp talk and citationality by Jack McFarland in the U.S sitcom Will and Grace. Using the first season’s transcript of the show and thoroughly watching the whole episodes, this study utilized a qualitative method to discover where he potentially employed camp talk and citationality in his utterance, and further categorized them based on the aspect of camp talk and citationality under the theory of Harvey (2002). The findings show 10 instances were identified, including three instances of citing cultural artefacts to foster a sense of shared culture with his interlocutors, three instances of citing the linguistic medium to challenge traditional gender norms, and four instances of citing femininity to use strategies of how women communicate. Thus, the results demonstrate the vital role that language and culture play in reinforcing his gay identity, as well as the ability of language to subvert accepted norms and influence his interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

Stereotypes have often been associated with negative outcomes such as discrimination, prejudice, and bias. Nonetheless, this study investigates the potential for humour within stereotypical discourse in a sitcom. Through an analysis of humorous language used in sitcom, this research aims to uncover ways in which stereotypical utterances might bring about laughter as an outcome. Using the data from seven U.S. sitcom Will and Grace episodes throughout the eighth season, I generated the data from the show's transcript. I analysed how two characters, a white American woman and her maid, communicate with each other with a content analysis approach to categorize the different themes of humour presented in the seven chosen episodes. To determine of what is considered to be humorous utterances, I used the audience's laughter as the marker (Messerli 2016). The research demonstrated that the use of stereotypical humor involves exploiting the preconceived notions about another party's country of origin, physical appearance, and cognitive capacity. Further, my findings showed that an individual with higher power often performed stereotypical humour towards that with less power, while Holmes et al. (2003) saw humour as a linguistic technique for people who lacked power to establish a favourable image of themselves by challenging authority. Ultimately, this research promises to advance our understanding of the complex relationship between humour, stereotyping, and societal attitudes.
