Abstract:
This volume presents recent developments in the linguistics of humour. It
depicts new theoretical proposals for capturing different humorous forms and
phenomena central to humour research, thereby extending its scope. The 15
contributions critically survey and develop the existing interpretative
models, or they postulate novel theoretical approaches to humour in order to
better elucidate its workings. The collection of articles offers cutting-edge
interdisciplinary explorations, encompassing various realms of linguistics
(semantics, pragmatics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics, and language
philosophy), as well as drawing on findings from other fields, primarily:
sociology, psychology and anthropology. Thanks to careful overviews of the
relevant background literature, the papers will be of use to not only
researchers and academics but also students. Albeit focused on theoretical
developments, rather than case studies, the volume is illustrated with
interesting research data, such as the discourse of television programmes and
series, films and stand-up comedy, as well as jokes.
Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science
