Linguocultural specifics of verbalization of the comic in German-language stand-ups (based on the content of the online platform MySpass.de)

The purpose of the study is to determine the linguistic and cultural specifics of the verbalization of the comic in the German-speaking stand-ups of the 2019-2023 period, which make up the content of the online platform MySpass.de. The scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying the main characteristics of comic texts used in the genre of modern German-language stand-up, as well as in describing the features of the functioning of humor, irony and satire in it. As a result of the study, it was found that comic texts have such common characteristics as: precedent (reference to a phenomenon, event or character, based on the presence of appropriate background knowledge about it from the author and the viewer), dissonance (unexpected image angle or unpredictable nature of the plot development), evaluativeness (explicit or implicit expression of the evaluation of the object of description) and pragmatism (the use of verbal and non-verbal means of influence). In addition, it was found that the specifics of comic texts are determined by the types of the comic used in them, which create a tone of value judgment: a harmless and relatively condescending assessment in humor, obvious mockery in irony and harsh criticism and censure in satire.
