초록

In <SoHyunSungRok>, jokes are made often between the characters. Superficially these jokes bear the nature of attack on the opposite, and research on such jokes has several meanings as follows. First, they suggest indirectly the good or bad relation between the characters and, by doing so, they give a realistic and solid feeling. Second, they show diverse views as attacks on a specific figure are made without malice. Third and most of all, a joke as a deviation from normal conversation has the nature of compensation for the mainstream view. This study examined the characteristic mechanism of jokes in this work.
First, jokes are led by a number of specific figures. They commonly have a strong will of expression, keep some distance from the object of expression, and are surrounded by amiable environment. However, while jokes made by men are tasteful, those made by women emphasizes uprightness. This suggests different treatment of men and women in those days.
In <SoHyunSungRok>, jokes appear in mixture with competition, exposure, depreciation, etc. Competition turns a fight into a play by setting hardly feasible confrontation, and results in the comparison of figures. In the middle, a person’s defect is exposed together with laughter, and this is discrepant from the general opinion of the figure. Exposure is not a new secret but the revelation of information shared implicitly among the members. A joke is established by reversing and exaggerating a fact, and is meaningful in that one confronts the rigidity of the ruling discourse with laughter. Depreciation is established when the joker’s will of expression bears aggressiveness. In order to turn aggressiveness into laughter, various variables should be considered including relations among the figures and situation. Different from competition and exposure, the success of deprecation is not easily predictable.
Compared to normal conversations, jokes do not make a significant contribution to the development of narration. Nevertheless, responses to jokes are diverse from those of the figures to those of the readers. Through such a variety of responses, jokes raise an objection to the one‐sided description of an episode and induce the readers to have various reading experiences.
