Abstract

Dialogue production in a film is an intricate process as it has the aim not only to transmit a genuine conversation involving two or more people, but also to create a specific effect upon the viewer. Thus, the screenwriter while creating a seemingly spontaneous interaction between the characters makes use of everyday communication strategies. It should be mentioned that it becomes even more challengeable to design a humorous dialogue. On the one hand, the verbal interaction is governed by specific communicative needs of the interlocutors, on the other, the screenwriter is trying to arouse a particular reaction in the viewer through this conversation. The present article analyzes the strategies applied by the screenwriter in creating humor in the American film “New in Town”.
