CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
There are many fields of research that people do on humour; one of those fields is linguistics. As Mulder 2002:3 states, humour is a field of research that
is done by combining or involving several academic disciplines in an approach to a topic or problem. Yet, Semantics is a part of linguistics field, as Kreidler
2002:3 mentions that the way meanings are organized and expressed by the language are what linguistic semantics is. In addition, Kreidler also mentions that
the humour that depends on the double meanings of words or ambiguities found in sentences will find pleasure in jokes 2002:2.
Jokes may be said as something spoken, written, or done, which are intentionally humorous for entertaining. There are several forms of jokes; one of
the several forms of jokes is a question-answer. The question-answer jokes are typically posed as riddles, which have usual question and humorous effect in the
answer. The answer may attach word play to reach the humorous effect. The word play in the answer usually utilizes the ambiguity in sentence, which may be
happened when there is one form of the same written and spoken word that has double meanings as Kreidler stated.
As slightly introduced, what are mentioned by Kreidler as double meanings word that unrelated but has the same written and spoken form
2002:63, which is an approach to find pleasure in jokes may be determined as
homonyms. Relating to Mulder statement, the writer tries to combine the term of homonyms using syntax and semantics approaches, which syntactically defines
the syntactic categories of the homonyms and semantically examines lexical relations and associative meanings to apply to humour that is formed as riddles as
a problem of this research. A previous research in this field is entitled Compound Adjective in The
Jakarta Post by Donna Pradana 2012, the case of the research is how the lexical relations are indicated within the data of hyphenated compound adjectives.
Different from the previous research, this research applies the lexical relations that are indicated on homonyms in the riddles
. Thus, this research is entitled, “The Homonyms in Eight Ate: A Feast of Homonyms Riddles: A Study of Syntax and
Semantics ”
