Description

Explore how humor evolves in our modern, connected world with The Language of Jokes in the Digital Age by Delia Chiaro. This Routledge publication offers a fresh look at how jokes function within a globalized and digitalized society. While the fundamental linguistic and cultural components of humor remain consistent, modern technology has changed the way we interact with comedy.

You will learn how humor moves through different mediums, ranging from traditional film and television sitcoms to the fast-paced world of social networks, e-mails, and internet memes. It is an essential resource for understanding how digital communication shapes the way we laugh and share jokes today.
