Abstract:
This book deals with the construction of diverse forms of humor in everyday
oral, written, and mediatized interactions. It sheds light on the differences
and, most importantly, the similarities in the production of interactional
humor in face-to-face and various technology-mediated forms of communication,
including scripted and non-scripted situations. The chapters analyze
humor-related issues in such genres as spontaneous conversations, broadcast
dialogues, storytelling, media blogs, bilingual conversations, stand-up
comedy, TV documentaries, drama series, family sitcoms, Facebook posts, and
internet memes. The individual authors trace how speakers collaboratively
circulate, reconstruct, and (re)frame either personal or public accounts of
reality, aiming –among other things– to produce and/or reproduce humor. Rather
than being “finished” products with a “single” interpretation, humorous texts
are thus approached as dynamic communicative events that give rise to diverse
interpretations and meanings. The book draws on a variety of up-to-date
approaches and methodologies, and will appeal to scholars in discourse
analysis, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, pragmatics,
ethnography of communication, and social semiotics.
