Description

The Linguistics of Laughter examines what speakers achieve through laughter-talk and what hearers signal when they produce laughter, drawing on abundant examples from language corpora. Alan Partington focuses on the tactical use of laughter-talk to accomplish specific rhetorical and strategic goals: constructing identity, making argumentative points, threatening or protecting face, and other communicative objectives. This Routledge Studies in Linguistics volume explores the relationship between laughter and humour whilst investigating how speakers manipulate laughter-talk strategically in conversation. The book combines corpus linguistics methodology with discourse analysis to reveal patterns in how laughter functions as a social and linguistic tool across different contexts and interactions.

Key Features

Alan Partington's corpus-assisted analysis provides extensive real-world examples of laughter-talk from authentic language data.

The Linguistics of Laughter volume 5 explores tactical uses of laughter to achieve rhetorical and strategic communication goals.

Routledge Studies in Linguistics series positions this work within established linguistic scholarship on discourse and conversation.

The book examines how speakers construct identity and make argumentative points through strategic laughter-talk production.

Corpus methodology allows the study to identify patterns in how hearers signal meaning through laughter across varied interactions.
