Disparity of men to the utilitarian norms as a source of laughter effect in the text of the English-language anecdote

Keywords: English-language anecdote, gender stereotypes, norms of safety, norms of realism, norms of reasonableness, utilitarian norms

Abstract

This article is devoted to the research of cognitive mechanisms of the creation of laughter effect of the English-language anecdote, which are based on the disparity of men to the utilitarian norms. The results of the analysis of linguistic objectification of stereotype presentations of representatives of English-language lingo-culture demonstrate quantitative and high-quality asymmetry. The found quantitative and high-quality asymmetry reflects the most socially meaningful gender-specific demands to the men as to the members of English-language society.
