Resumo: This article reflects about how lexicon, especially the one that composes referential nominal expressions, acts in the production of humorous texts. Our objectives are to show not only that lexical selection, when linked to text external factors, consists in a humor technique, but also that it supplies an effective mechanism in humor production. In order to do that, we analyze unnews, the humorous texts which parody news and which are posted in the site named Uncyclopedia. The analysis is based on a sociocognitive interactive perspective and on some humor theories (superiority theory, catharsis theory, and incongruity theory). We assume that the use of the lexicon in referential recategorisation processes consists in a discursive activity in which speakers act on linguistic material making signifi cant choices to express their intentions.Key words: lexicon, referential expressions, humor, unnews.

Desse modo, buscamos não só mostrar que os processos de seleção lexical, quando aliados a fatores externos ao texto, consistem em uma técnica de gerar comicidade, mas também fornecer um mecanismo eficaz de produção de humor. Para isso analisamos desnotícias, textos cômicos que parodiam notícias e são postados no site Desciclopédia, com base na perspectiva sociocognitiva interacional e em algumas teorias do humor (teoria da superioridade, teoria da catarse e teoria da incongruência). Partimos do pressuposto de que o uso do léxico em processos de recategorização referencial consiste em uma atividade discursiva, na qual o sujeito opera sobre o material linguístico fazendo escolhas significativas para expressar suas intenções.Palavras-chave: léxico, expressão referencial, humor, desnotícia.Unisinos2013-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2013.113.03Calidoscópio; Vol. 11 No. 3 (2013): September/December; 250-258Calidoscópio; v. 11 n. 3 (2013): Setembro/Dezembro; 250-2582177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2013.113.03/3762Carmelino, Ana CristinaSilveira, Karineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-12-13T17:11:57Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/3699Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2013-12-13T17:11:57Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
