Meeting Description:

Humor is a wide-raging communicative strategy that is found in all realms of
everyday and professional life. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that
humorous strategies abound on the Internet intended to generate humorous
effects either on one interlocutor (for example, a humorous discourse sent to
a single contacto on WhatsApp, see Ballesteros Doncel 2016, Petitjean & Morel
2017) or on a group of addressees, either known (as in instant messaging
groups or in Facebook groups), or unknown ones (as in the memes sent massively
to a wide group of anonymous users). It has been demonstrated that humor is
the reason underlying a high percentage of the messages exchanged on the Net,
thus creating particular ways of understanding humor (Hirsch 2017, Weitz
2017), and this panel aims to analyse the generation of humor in digital
discourses from the wide range of possibilities that users have to produce it.

There is already some bibliography that addresses humor on the Internet. Among
other contributions, we can mention studies of humor in discourses such as the
ones produced on social netwoking sites (Page 2018, Piata 2018), in comments
on different entries or discourses published on the Net (Pejovik 2018), in
memes generated to be spread throughout the Net (Prochazka 2016, Yus 2018a),
and in non-propositional effects that exude from humor online  in the shape of
feelings and emotions with a relational or social connotation (Marone 2015,
Yus 2018b), among other research issues.


Call for Papers:

In this panel we welcome linguistic (and especially pragmatic) approaches to
humor, which consider any of the aspects listed below, or other aspects not
mentioned:

-Humor in social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…).
-Humor in comments (to social networking site entries, to videos, to pieces of
news…).
-Humor in instant messaging conversations.
-Humor in memes spreading online.
-Humor on the internet and gender roles.
-The role of visual discourses in the generation of humor (images, emoji…).

-The cultural component in the production and appreciation of humor online.
-Humor in blogs.
-Humor online through specific linguistic strategies.
-Humor online with a non-humorous intention (in cyberbullying, verbal
