VIOLATIONS OF GRICE’S COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLE IN RUSSIAN HUMOROUS AUDIOVISUAL TEXTS

Abstract

The research is motivated by the increasing interest in Russian language learning among foreign students, particularly those from China, highlighting the need to enhance Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) teaching methodologies through modern educational approaches. The study examines how comic effects are created in Russian humorous audiovisual texts by analyzing violations of Grice’s Cooperative Principle, with the aim of developing students’ sociocultural competence. Through pragmatic analysis of the material, including systematic examination of violations in the maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner, this work proposes methodological recommendations for developing students’ intercultural communicative competence and personal growth while learning Russian as a foreign language. The article concludes that humorous video verbal texts are an effective tool to form intercultural communicative competence in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language.
