Abstract:

This book attempts to discuss selected but thorny issues of humor research
that form the major stumbling blocks as well as challenges in humor studies at
large and thus merit insightful discussion. Any discourse is action, so the
text-creation process is always set in a non-verbal context, built of a social
and communicative situation, and against the background of relevant culture.
On the other hand, humor scholars claim that humorous discourse has its
special, essential features that distinguish it from other discourses. The
pragmatic solution to the issue of potential circularity of humor defined in
terms of discourse and discourse in terms of humor seems only feasible, and
thus there is a need to discuss the structure and mechanisms of humorous texts
and humorous performances. The chapters in the present volume, contributed by
leading scholars in the field of humor studies, address the issues from
various theoretical perspectives, from contextual semantics through General
Theory of Verbal Humor, cognitive linguistics, discourse studies,
sociolinguistics, to Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor, providing an
excellent overview of the field to novices and experts alike.
