Description

Explore the connection between humor and cognition with Jokes and the Linguistic Mind by Debra Aarons. Published by Routledge, this book uses the lens of cognitive science to investigate how jokes function by playing on the specific structures of language. By analyzing hilarious examples found in movies, plays, and books, the text demonstrates how linguistic jokes work. It shows that for these jokes to be understood, our tacit knowledge of language must become conscious. This study provides a deep look into how we process humor through our mental linguistic frameworks. Readers will examine how jokes exploit various linguistic elements, including pragmatic, semantic, morphological, phonological, and semantic features. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of psychology, linguistics, and the cognitive processes that drive human humor.
