| dc.description.abstract | The current study is an investigation on the Gricean cooperative principle within sarcastic discourse in the Kabyle society. This investigation took place at the university of Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-ouzou and outside to get the required data instruments to achieve the study aim. The aim of the study is multiple. First, it seeks to prove the use of sarcasm within the Kabyle’s spontaneous daily conversations; hence, the detection of the latter. Second, it attempts to analyze the use of sarcasm according to the Gricean maxims to see which of the maxims is the most flouted. Third, it demonstrates whether sarcasm is a common figure of speech among Kabyle people or it is only a personal trait and whether it is intentional or not. Furthermore, this research has relied on the theoretical framework of the book entitled ‘Logic and Conversation’ (1975) by Paul Grice. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are applied for the collection and the analysis of the data. Data is collected through a questionnaire distributed to random students of English at the department of English at MMUTO, besides the indiscriminate recordings of spontaneous conversations inside and outside the university. Moreover, the obtained data are analyzed by both quantitative and qualitative methods through SPSS analysis. The results reveal that the Kabyle society is open to sarcasm and the latter is both spontaneously and thoughtfully used. In addition to this, it shows that most people are aware of sarcasm and detect it. To end up, the most flouted maxim in the Kabyle sarcasm is the maxim of quality. | en |
