Abstract:
This book offers a cognitive-pragmatic, and specifically relevance-theoretic,
analysis of different types of humorous discourse, together with the
inferential strategies that are at work in the processing of such discourses.
The book also provides a cognitive pragmatics description of how addressees
obtain humorous effects. Although the inferences at work in the processing of
normal, non-humorous discourses are the same as those employed in the
interpretation of humour, in the latter case these strategies (and also the
accessibility of contextual information) are predicted and manipulated by the
speaker (or writer) for the sake of generating humorous effects. The book
covers aspects of research on humour such as the incongruity-resolution
pattern, jokes and stand-up comedy performances. It also offers an explanation
of why ironies are sometimes labelled as humorous, and proposes a model for
the translation of humorous discourses, an analysis of humour in multimodal
discourses such as cartoons and advertisements, and a brief exploration of
possible tendencies in relevance-theoretic research on conversational humour.
