Although research has examined the understanding of figurative language such as metaphor, irony and humour in some depth, sarcasm has been less studied. Understanding sarcasm requires considering social and cultural factors, which are often ignored in models of language and it poses a challenge on L2 learners. This dissertation is intended to investigate how Algerian learners of English after four years of intensive learning, interpret and understand sarcasm in spoken English. Participants were asked to identify humour and sarcasm in a video clip taken from the U.S. TV sitcom BIG BANG THOERY and to report what cues they attended to while processing sarcasm. Analysis revealed that students who have good level in English and are more exposed to it orally by other media are able to detect the sarcastic expression by means of diverse techniques to grasp the meaning in addition to their previous knowledge to those kinds of sitcoms. We noticed that the strategy most used is that relied on non-verbal communication such as: gestures, body language intonation ….etc, in relation to context meaning. Our participants suggested that social, cultural background and interaction with native speakers may enhance learning of English sarcasm and understand it while it is used. This study is an open area for more study to be done on it in the future and sarcasm is an important figurative language to be taught to our students Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=5885 Investigating students ability to recognize and understand humorous sarcasm used in sitcoms : The case of master one students of english at constantine 1 university [texte imprimé] / Rima Fettache, Auteur ; Hamza Azzouk, Auteur ; Djamel Benkaza, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2014 . - 65 f. ; 30 cm.
