Abstract:

The corpus-based approach to humor offers innovative and more than plausible
objectives, supported by sound arguments, which underline the need to analyze
humor both verbally and non-verbally.

The cognitive linguistic account of humor sets to analyze a corpus of humorous
meanings in interaction and to present the elements that help to create the
humorous effects: common ground, intersubjectivity, facial expressions,
speakers' attitude, etc. The large corpus of examples annotated in ELAN offers
a much-needed multimodal perspective of humor, which encompasses all the
different techniques used by speakers.

The present analysis offers inspiring insight for future research, in
different fields of study: multimodality, humor, and psycholinguistics. The
study reveals the need of analyzing both verbal and non-verbal elements in
discourse in general and humor in particular as co-speech gestures are
essential for the understanding of the message as intended by the speakers.
