As complex phenomena, puns have been studied from different perspectives -
from Semiotic to Linguistics, from Rhetoric to Literary Criticism, from
Philosophy to Psychology.

This book analyzes puns on the base of two linguistic models. 

On one side, phonological mechanisms of pun are described and classified
through Autosegmental Phonology and Optimality Theory; such frameworks allow
the comparison of puns in different languages and language families.

On the other side, the semantic-pragmatic features of pun come to be crucial
with respect to several issues - e.g., the ''felicity'' of puns, intercultural
communication, and the use of humor in language teaching.

A new, operative model of pun is proposed, in order to foster the analysis of
such phenomenon in different languages.
