Description

Jokes and the Linguistic Mind explores how linguistic jokes reveal our hidden understanding of language through cognitive science. Written by Debra Aarons, this Routledge publication analyses hilarious examples from films, plays and books to demonstrate that tacit linguistic knowledge must become conscious for linguistic jokes to land with impact. The book systematically examines jokes exploiting pragmatic, semantic, morphological and phonological features of language, uncovering how wordplay, puns and linguistic tricks activate our deep awareness of language structure and function. Perfect for students, linguists and cognitive science enthusiasts, this work bridges the gap between humour, psychology and the mechanisms underlying human language comprehension and use.

Key Features

Jokes and the Linguistic Mind combines cognitive science theory with practical joke analysis to reveal hidden patterns in language understanding.

The book examines linguistic jokes exploiting pragmatic, semantic, morphological and phonological features, showing how language structure enables humour.

Routledge publishes this academic work drawing on examples from films, plays and books to illustrate linguistic jokes in real-world contexts.

Debra Aarons demonstrates that tacit linguistic knowledge must become conscious awareness for readers to comprehend and appreciate linguistic jokes fully.
