IDENTITE DE GENRE ABSTRACT This research examines the way in which gender identity is revealed in language practice and explores its theoretical and practical implications More precisely this article aims to explore some of the interesting ways in which female standup comedians use di ?erent speech styles marked by gender to deconstruct their imposed gender roles and hence reconstruct their identity as a sort of resilient process We argue that the gendered speech styles in humorous discourse may be used regardless of the speaker ? s sex to reassert one ? s identity and break with the boundaries and constraints in icted by society In this sense our purpose is to verify the hypothesis that planned humor discourse is the means comediennes use to perform unconventional gender identities and subvert the normative standards For this aim our study collects a corpus that comprised monologues by seven famous north-American and British stand-ups such as Tina Fey Amy Schumer Sarah Silverman Kristen Shaal Ellen DeGeneres or Bridget Christie These monologues were transcribed and divided into humorous sequences in order to examine the function of the di ?erent speech styles when using role-play and its relation with the humor styles proposed by Martin et al They served to account the most prominent discursive features The analysis of the e ?ects achieved in relation to the construction and deconstruction of gender identity as well as the study of the linguistic and paralinguistic elements used to trigger the comic e ?ect has allowed us to prove tha the use of a certain gendered speech style in a humorous discourse can act as a sociopragmatic device not for breaking with sex roles stereotypes but also for reinforcing and perpetuating some gender clichés KEY WORDS humor gender stand-up comedy discourse performance SUMMARY Introduction Humor a gendered device Methodology Results Conclusion RESUMEN La presente investigación analiza la forma en la que la identidad de género se re eja en el habla y explora sus implicaciones teóricas y prácticas En concreto el objetivo principal es explorar las distintas formas interesantes en las que las humoristas hacen uso del estilo de habla femenino y masculino a través del discurso directo con el objeto de romper con los roles sexuales y subvertir las nociones heteronormativas de masculinidad y feminidad Partimos de la hipótesis de que en el discurso humorístico el estilo de habla femenino y masculino se usan con independencia del sexo para conseguir unos determinados efectos cómicos y sociales Con el objetivo de veri ?car tal conjetura este estudio recoge un corpus
