Abstract:

Placing failed humor within the broader category of miscommunication and
drawing on a range of conversational data, this text represents the first
comprehensive study of failed humor. It provides a framework for classifying
the types of failure that can occur, examines the strategies used by both
speakers and hearers to avoid and manage failure, and highlights the crucial
role humor plays in social identity and relationship management.
