Abstract:

This volume is the first monograph exploring the functions of visual cues in
humor, advocating for the development of a non-linguocentric theory of humor
performance. It analyzes a corpus of dyadic, face-to-face interactions in
Spanish and English to study the relationship between humor, smiling, and
gaze, and shows how, by focusing on these elements, it is possible to shed
light on the “unsaid” of conversations.

In the book, the humorous framing of an utterance is shown to be negotiated
and co-constructed dialogically and multimodally, through changes and patterns
of smiling synchronicity, smiling intensity, and eye movements. The study also
analyzes the multimodal features of failed humor and proposes a new
categorization from a dialogic perspective.

Because of its interdisciplinary approach, which includes facial expression
analysis and eye tracking, this book is relevant to humor researchers as well
as scholars in social and behavioral sciences interested in multimodality and
embodied cognition.
