Description

Discover how jokes and humour evolve in today's connected world with Delia Chiaro's accessible exploration of digital-age comedy. This Routledge book examines the enduring language foundations of jokes whilst revealing how technology has transformed the settings and methods of modern joking. From viral memes and social networks to emails and traditional media like sitcoms and game shows, the book traces humour across diverse platforms. Whether you're interested in linguistics, digital culture, or simply understanding why jokes land differently online, this work bridges classical joke theory with contemporary digital communication, showing how globalisation and time-space compression have reshaped the way we create, share and interpret humorous content across borders and screens.

Key Features

Written by Delia Chiaro, this book provides a fresh academic overview of how jokes function in globalised and digitalised environments.

The Language of Jokes in the Digital Age covers social networks, emails, memes, film, TV sitcoms and game shows, demonstrating humour across multiple platforms.

Explores how lingua-cultural foundations of jokes remain constant whilst modern technology creates entirely new ways of joking and playing with language.

Accessible guide to understanding digital humour, viral comedy trends and the relationship between technology and contemporary joke-telling.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in linguistics, communication and cultural studies.
