    debates. Its underlying objective is to contest the well-entrenched assumption that the viewer should be conceptualised as anoverhearer, in favour of a new theoretical construct, name- ly the recipient. Interlocutors in a political debate not only talk with eachother, but also, if not primarily, communicate meanings to the recipient. By employ- ing verbal aggression, a politician may have atwofold communicative intention with regard to two different ratified hearers s!he aims to disaffiliate from the conversationalist,thereby entertaining, and fostering solidarity with, recipients. The theses put forward are illustrated with e"amples from #olish pre-election debates televised in $ctober %&&'.

    The central point of attention here is verbal violence/aggression in televised politi- cal

    debates.verbal aggression, also referred to as verbal violence, is here

    defined as a set of linguistic strategies bymeans of which the speaker attacks/abuses(e.g. denigrates or ridiculesthe interlocutorand/or infringes the latter's conversation- al rights, for example by meansof invectives, interruptions, or too high a pitch of voice.) *erbal aggression in televised programmes,including political ones, has re- cently garnered some scholarly interest. +or instance, uginbhl (%&&' e"pounds on conversational violenceindebates, while rcher (%&&/) conceives of impoliteness as a subtype of verbalaggression , which need not be the effect of 0personal sense of spite0 (rcher %&&/ )/1. The methodological underpinnings of this distinction are of importanceto (impoliteness researchers. pecifically, verbal violence in scholarly discourse isconceptualised as impoliteness(see among others 2ulpeper %&&34 oren5o-6us %&&', %&&1. 7onetheless, the perspective assumedhere contributes to humour studies, insofar as aggression which politi- cians manifest against one another may be deemed as engendering humorous effects. The issue of

    entertainment potential residing in impoliteness!aggression also tends to be raised, albeit intermittently (2ulpeper %&&34 oren5o-6us %&&', %&&1.!statement may then be ventured that verbal violence tends to coincide with

    humor, specifically aggressive humour. "t must be stressed here that the focus of interest isverbal aggression carrying potential for humorousness, but not necessarilyfunniness.

Its underlying objective is to contest the well-entrenched assumption that the viewer should be conceptualised as anoverhearer, in favour of a new theoretical construct, name- ly the recipient. Interlocutors in a political debate not only talk with eachother, but also, if not primarily, communicate meanings to the recipient. By employ- ing verbal aggression, a politician may have a

    twofold communicative intention with regard to two different ratified hearers s!he aims to disaffiliate from the conversationalist,thereby entertaining, and fostering solidarity with, recipients. The theses put forward are illustrated with e"amples from #olish pre-election debates televised in $ctober %&&'.

    #umorousness is a binary category representing a stimulus' theoreticalcapacity to induce a humorous response, while funniness is a grad- ablecategory indicating the degrees of appreciation of a humorous text (2arrell )11'.8ssentially, a hypothesis is put forward that verbal violence in televised discourse promotes humorous ef- fects from the viewer9s perspective, whilst s!he need not invariably

    consider such aggressive humour funny, depending on his!her sense of humour and attitude towards the speaker and the attacked hearer.!ggressivehumor is widely recogni$ed as a power-based verbal tool, geared towardscontrolling the target and fostering conflict(see among others :artineau ;1'%4

    with the hearer, for whose enjoyment an utterance is produced, and an out-group with the individual, a hearer or a non-hearer, who is lambasted or even humiliated. Theterm disaffiliative humour(cf. :artin et al. %&&?4 6ynel %&)&a is here used in reference toaggressive utterances which the speaker means to be truly abusive anddemeaning to one hearer but humorous to another .6isaffiliative humour can also be targeted at an absentparty, namely a non-participant, but such cases are immaterial here. This blanket category of humour is associated with such phenomena as sarcasm (#artington %&&E4 6ynel%&&1b, disparagement (Dillmann )1/?4 +ord and +erguson %&&@4 +erguson and +ord %&&/, putdowns (Dillmann and Ftocking )1'E4 6ynel %&&1b, ridicule (Div )1/@4 Billig

    %&&3, or mocking (Div )1/@4 7orrick )11?4 8verts %&&?.%

    &egardless of its form, an uneuivocallyaggressive utterance is non-humorous from the perspective of the listenerto whose detriment it is produced ,although the latter may appreciate that the offensive utterance is simultaneously a humorousstimulus for another hearer and the speaker. $ne may venture to claim that, in the absence of another listener beside the one attacked, an aggressive utterance may be devoid of

    any humorous capacity, given that there is nobody the speaker can aim to entertain and affiliate with, at the e"pense of the target. (isaffiliation andaggression may hence give rise to humour only when there is at least onenon-tar- geted hearer, who may en%oy the humorous utterance, together with the speaker.2onseAuently, disaffiliative humour is simultaneously in a way affiliative, because it demonstrates camaraderie and strengthens bonds of solidarity between those who laugh (ordisplay other signs of enjoyment, distancing the amused individu- als from the target (8der )11?4 Cotthoff )11E, %&&'. In other words, disaffiliative humour is based onforming out-groups and in-groups, being humorous solely %. few of the authors listed in the references above consider the humour categories to be af- filiative by nature.=owever, here all the phenomena are perceived only as genuinely aggressive, disaffiliative humour, distinct from friendly teasing, which captures pretended aggression (see6ynel %&&/, %&&1b, %&)&a, and references therein. to the latter (cf. a+ave et al. )1'?, )1'@4 #riest and Gilhelm )1'@4 Ftocking and Dillmann )1'E4 :c2auley et al. )1/?46uncan )1/34 6ecker )1/E. 8ssentially, the humorous potential of an aggressive remark is pivoted, to a large e"tent, on the act of disaffiliation. In the conte"t of the presentarticle, the in-group member with whom the speaker affiliates and builds solidarity is the viewer, while the target is the disaffiliated party, namely a member of the out-group(and so must be his!her supporters who do not find the remark amusing. That humour can carry aggression, and thus disaffiliation, is reflected by su- periority theories (seeamong others Ceith-Fpiegel )1'%4 :orreall )1/?, )1/'4 runer )1'/, forthere are humour manifestations which are perfectly benevolent and free from any under- lying aggression or hostility (:artin %&&'4 6avies %&&/4 :orreall %&&/. ggressiveconversational humour (see 2oates %&&'4 6ynel %&&1a, %&&1b, which can be captured by superiority theories, is prevalent in media discourse, both fictional (series and filmsand T* programmes, carrying entertainment values for wide audiences.
