LAUGHING ALL THE WAY
Understanding jokes is part of the process of native language acquisition, and jokes are part of the charm that belongs to any language. Learning to understand jokes in a new language is both a cause, and a consequence, of language proficiency (Cook 2000).
The most obvious benefit of understanding jokes is that it can help students feel more comfortable in their new language. A shared moment of humor lowers the affective filter, that invisible barrier that makes learners feel awkward and uncomfortable. A low affective filter is one of the cornerstones of successfully learning a new language (Krashen 1982). If a class can laugh together, they are likely to learn better together, too. Jokes based on wordplay have additional benefits because they build metalinguistic awareness, or conscious awareness of the forms of language, and this, _( I )_, helps in learning more language (Ely and McCabe 1994; Zipke 2008; Lems 2011). In particular, metalinguistic awareness boots reading comprehension and encourages higher-order thinking.
___( II )___ native speakers need to access a great deal of linguistic information and background knowledge to “get” a joke (Aarons 2012). At the same time, jokes that are based on wordplay in another language can be really hard to understand because they need to be processed very quickly. In a social setting where everyone is standing around chatting, understanding a joke that comes up may seem like a high-stakes test. Not understanding a joke in this situation can make someone feel like an outsider and create a sense of isolation. __( III )___, an important part of learning a new language is learning to enjoy its jokes.
Puns: A special form of joke
Puns are a special form of humor based on double meanings. Puns are sometimes nicknamed "the lowest form of humor" and often greeted with groans, but in fact, the language knowledge needed to understand a pun is very sophisticated (Pollack 2011).___( IV )__ they require processing the sound and meaning of words twice, puns demand considerable language agility. __( V )__ humor based on sight gags, funny facial expressions, or amusing visual arrangements, the humor of pun is based on language play.

O texto afirma que
a) native speakers take longer to "get" jokes than ordinary people. – falantes nativos demoram mais para “entender” piadas do que pessoas comuns.
b) learners feel uncomfortable when their affective filter is affected by metalinguistic awareness. – os alunos sentem-se incomodados quando seu filtro afetivo Ă© afetado pela consciĂȘncia metalinguĂstica..
c) laughing in class is very healthy once students can understand a joke's inner sophisticated meaning. – rir na aula Ă© muito saudĂĄvel, uma vez que os alunos conseguem compreender o significado interior sofisticado de uma piada.
d) one way puns differ from jokes regards the skills involved to understand them. – uma das diferenças entre os trocadilhos e as piadas diz respeito Ă s habilidades envolvidas para compreendĂȘ-los.
➭ CORRETA conforme o trecho:
b) learners feel uncomfortable when their affective filter is affected by metalinguistic awareness. – os alunos sentem-se incomodados quando seu filtro afetivo Ă© afetado pela consciĂȘncia metalinguĂstica..
c) laughing in class is very healthy once students can understand a joke's inner sophisticated meaning. – rir na aula Ă© muito saudĂĄvel, uma vez que os alunos conseguem compreender o significado interior sofisticado de uma piada.
d) one way puns differ from jokes regards the skills involved to understand them. – uma das diferenças entre os trocadilhos e as piadas diz respeito Ă s habilidades envolvidas para compreendĂȘ-los.
➭ CORRETA conforme o trecho:
-"[...] Puns are a special form of humor based on double meanings... Because they require processing the sound and meaning of words twice, puns demand considerable language agility. Unlike humor based on sight gags, funny facial expressions, or amusing visual arrangements, the humor of pun is based on language play."
("Puns" sĂŁo uma forma especial de humor baseada em dois significados. Porque eles exigem o processamento do som e do significado das palavras duas vezes, trocadilhos exigem uma agilidade linguĂstica considerĂĄvel. Ao contrĂĄrio do humor baseado em gags de visĂŁo, expressĂ”es faciais engraçadas ou arranjos visuais divertidos, o humor do trocadilho Ă© baseado no jogo de linguagem.)e) in a meeting surrounded by other people, it is really advisable to tell jokes in order to lower the affective filter and entertain the participants.numa reuniĂŁo rodeada de outras pessoas, Ă© muito aconselhĂĄvel contar piadas para diminuir o filtro afetivo e entreter os participantes.
* PUN – TROCADILHO - Ă o uso divertido de uma palavra ou frase que tem dois significados, ou de palavras que tĂȘm o mesmo som, mas significados diferentes. No pun intended, but…sem querer fazer trocadilho, mas ...veja os exemplos:
(1) How did I escape Iraq? Iran. – Como escapei do Iraque? (IrĂŁ. / Eu corri)("IRAN" e "I RAN" apresentam a mesma pronĂșncia /ĂĄirĂ©n/)
(2) Where are French fries made? In Greece. – Onde sĂŁo feitas as batatas fritas? (na GrĂ©cia / na gordura)("GREECE" e "GREASE" apresentam a mesma pronĂșncia /grĂs/)
(3) I can't stand your way, no pun intended, please. – NĂŁo suporto o seu jeito, sem querer fazer trocadilho, por favor. (WAY-jeito, WEIGH-peso)
(4) Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up on its own? Because it’s two tired. – Por que a bicicleta nĂŁo conseguia ficar de pĂ© sozinha? Porque ela estĂĄ cansada demais. / Porque ela tem dois pneus. ("TWO TIRED" e "TOO TIRED" apresentam a mesma pronĂșncia).
