Abstract:

Please note: This is a new edition of a previously announced text.

Translation studies and humour studies are disciplines that have been 
long-established but seldom looked at in conjunction.  This volume uses 
literature as the common ground and examines issues of translating humour 
within a range of different literary traditions.  It begins with an analysis of 
humour and translation in every day life, including jokes and cross-cultural 
humour, and then moves on to looking at humour and translation in literature 
through the ages.

Despite growing interest and a history of collaborative study, there has 
been little translation studies scholarship published in this area.  This 
collection features a comprehensive introduction by the editor, which covers 
strategies and techniques for translating humour as well as the pragmatics 
involved. The book will appeal to scholars and postgraduates in translation 
and interpreting studies and humour studies.
