Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2019 

Meeting Description:

(Session of International Conference on Verbal Humor)

Humor has been considered, along with irony, as the pragmatic phenomenon par
excellence that depends on the attitude of the speaker and listener. So that a
statement to be considered humorous, there needs to be several indicators and
markers that help interpret it in that way. Therefore, in this panel, we will
try to explain different linguistic elements that influence on the
interpretation of humor and that affect to the discourse from a social,
functional and cognitive point of view.

>From the social point of view, the studies linked to the Ethnography of
communication by Erving Goffman and Dell Hymes, among others, provide an
interactional perspective to phenomena such as humor. Likewise, from the
functional point of view, Attardo (2001), Hay (2000, 2001) and Kotthoff
(2006), among others, offer a wide prospect in which certain contextual
strategies, conveyed through humor, could be found. Whilst, from a cognitive
point of view, Brône, Feyaerts y Veale (2006) and Ritchie (2004), among
others, highlight the relationships between humor and other occurrences such
as metaphor or metonymy, and propose several ways of understanding humorous
texts.



Call for Papers:

For these reasons, this panel welcomes submissions that deal with the
linguistic elements integrated in humor discourse, and presentations that
could be adapted to any of these research lines, or to any other related to
these:

- The linguistic, extra-linguistic and paralinguistic elements of humor.  
- Delimitation and classification of linguistic elements.
- Linguistic elements in oral corpora
- Linguistic elements in written corpora
- Linguistic elements in women and men
- Communicative strategies and linguistic elements
- Inferences and linguistic elements
- Linguistic elements, appreciation, recognition and production of humor.
