初探臺灣脫口秀節目揶揄互動之回應策略

Abstract

脫口秀是一種兼具娛樂性與機構性的語言互動場合，其語言互動具有表演性與即時性。節目主持人經常透過揶揄威脅來賓面子，製造笑點並推進節目互動；來賓則必須即時回應以維護自身面子。雙方共同建立節目的娛樂效果。過往研究雖已針對不禮貌語言及脫口秀進行探討，但多聚焦於說話者的不禮貌，較少關注受話者的回應策略。本研究以《賀瓏夜夜秀》YouTube頻道公開訪談影片為研究語料，透過會話分析檢視主持人與來賓之間的互動序列，探討節目來賓面對主持人揶揄時所採取的回應策略。理論架構方面，本研究以Tholander與Aronsson(2002)提出之揶揄回應策略作為回應分析基礎，結合Limberg(2009)之遵守(compliance)與不遵守(non-compliance)互動模式，分析來賓如何透過不同策略進行回應，並探討其對互動方向與節目娛樂效果的影響。研究結果顯示節目來賓普遍採取順勢配合(playing along)的互動方式持續參與主持人所建構的幽默框架, 搭配解釋(accounts)、否認(denials)、極簡回應(minimal responses)、反擊(retaliation)及主動預防(proactive work)，並依其是否配合主持人所建構的互動方向，呈現遵守與不遵守兩種不同的互動模式。本研究進一步指出脫口秀的幽默效果並非建立於主持人單方面的不禮貌語言，而是主持人、來賓與現場觀眾三方共同互動的結果。

Talk shows constitute a distinctive form of semi-institutional discourse characterized by highly interactive and entertainment-oriented communication. Hosts frequently employ impoliteness, such as teasing to threaten guests’ face, while guests must respond immediately and manage both face and entertainment demands. Although previous studies have examined impoliteness and humor in talk shows, recipients’ responses remain comparatively underexplored. This study investigates impoliteness responses in the Taiwanese talk show《賀瓏夜夜秀》using interview episodes from its YouTube channel. Interactional sequences are analyzed through Conversation Analysis (CA). while analysis combines Tholander and Aronsson’s (2002) teasing response strategies with Limberg’s (2009) framework of compliance and non-compliance. The findings show that guests generally maintain participation in the host’s humorous frame through playing along, regardless of whether they comply with or resist the host’s interactional direction. Rather than functioning as a discrete response strategy, playing along operates as an overarching interactional orientation realized through strategies such as denials, accounts, minimal responses, retaliation, and proactive work. The study further demonstrates that compliance does not necessarily imply agreement with the host’s evaluation; guests may resist the host’s stance while continuing to sustain the interaction. Consequently, humour in Taiwanese talk show discourse emerges from the collaborative interaction among hosts, guests, and audiences, and impoliteness functions as an institutional and performative interactional resource rather than merely a form of verbal aggression.
