Description

Explore the scientific complexities of humor with The Linguistic Analysis of Jokes from the Routledge Studies in Linguistics series. This academic text addresses the current lack of a comprehensive theory on how humor works by proposing a method of precise, detailed analysis of humorous items. By examining the mechanisms behind jokes, the author provides a rigorous framework for study. The book covers essential guidelines for researchers, including the necessary assumptions to make and the common pitfalls to avoid when conducting linguistic research. It also includes a critique of existing work on humor to help build a better understanding of this uniquely human behavior. This book serves as a foundational resource for those looking to understand the mechanics of humor through a scientific lens.
