Humor and laughter are among the reactions people give in their daily lives. All people naturally participate in humorous speech and behavior. Therefore, humor represents one of the main aspects of everyday interactions. Consequently, the issues like the reasons of laughter and what constitutes humor have been questioned since Plato and Aristotle and humor has become a field that has been developing continuously ever since. One of the reasons that humor has come out as a theatrical form is the pleasure people take in laughing. Punning is one of the categories which are the source for laughter. Puns can be defined shortly as the use of words in a way that suggests two or more meanings which are usually incompatible and thus the creation of humorous effect. In this study, the puns collected from the specialized authentic corpus which is built from the transcriptions of the video recordings of the television show Komedi Dükkanı ‘Comedy Shop’ are analyzed. The instances used in Komedi Dükkanı ‘Comedy Shop’, which has a different structure from other humor genres like stand-up and sitcoms and thereby is defined as a new humor genre, are categorized and the differences in terms of genre are presented.

Gülmece ve Gülme Kaynağı Olarak Sözcük Oyunları

Öz

Gülmece ve gülme insanların günlük hayatta pek çok farklı duruma verdikleri tepkiler arasındadır. Bütün insanlar doğal olarak gülünç konuşma ve davranışa katılır. Dolayısıyla, gülmece günlük etkileşimlerin temel görünümlerinden birini temsil eder. Bu nedenle, gülmenin nedenleri ve neyin gülmeceyi oluşturduğu gibi konular Platon ve Aristoteles’ten beri merak edilmiş ve gülmece sürekli gelişen bir çalışma alanı olmuştur. Gülünçlüğün teatral bir form olarak ortaya çıkmasının nedenlerinden biri de insanların gülme yoluyla aldıkları hazdır. Gülmeye kaynak oluşturan gülmece ulamlarından bir tanesi de sözcük oyunlarıdır. Sözcük oyunları kısaca sözcüklerin genellikle birbiriyle bağdaşmayan iki ya da daha fazla anlam gösterecek şekilde kullanımı ve böylece komik etkinin yaratılması şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışmada, sözcük oyunları Komedi Dükkanı adlı televizyon programının video kayıtlarının çevriyazıya aktarılmasıyla oluşturulan özel amaçlı özgün derlemden elde edilen örnekler üzerinden incelenmiştir. Stand-up ve durum komedisi gibi diğer gülmece türlerinden farklı bir yapıya sahip olan ve bu nedenle yeni bir gülmece türü olarak tanımlanan Komedi Dükkanı’nda kullanılan sözcük oyunu örnekleri ele 

alınarak sınıflandırılmış ve tür açısından farklılıkları ortaya konmuştur.
