Meeting Description:

The purpose of the conference is to create a forum for discussions on the
perception of humour through various paradigms. We hope that Humor Research
Project will become a chance to explore humour in its interdisciplinarity and
universality, as well as will make it possible to encourage debate on the
place of humour in language, culture, and academic research. Thus, we would
like to invite researchers who are interested in the topic to attend this
event devoted to language and humor, which will cover both linguistic and
(cross-)cultural perspectives, as well as literary and translation studies so
as to provide important insights into language for humorous purposes.

The conference fee is 250 PLN / 60 € (conference materials and coffee breaks).
Selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
No accommodation or meals provided.
Participation without a paper is free of charge.


Call for Papers:

The list of topics includes but is by no means limited to:

- various realisations of humour in literature and translation
- humour seen through the lens of linguistics
- cultural, cross-cultural, and multicultural aspects of humour
- humour in discourse analysis
- examples of humour in media and visual studies
- the role of the humorous in methodology and teaching
- the import of humour and laughter in cognition and social interaction
- theoretical considerations related to previous research on humour

Naturally, the list is not exhaustive so other humor-related contributions are
also welcome.

If interested in participating and contributing a paper, please send us a
short description of your proposal. The abstract word limit is 300 words, and
the abstract submission deadline is January 19, 2019. Acceptance notifications
will be sent by the end of January 2019.
