Description

Explore the complex mechanics of human communication with The Linguistics of Laughter. This academic study by Alan Partington investigates the phenomenon of laughter-talk, which includes the verbal interactions that precede and trigger laughter episodes. By utilizing extensive examples from language corpora, the book provides a detailed look at how speakers use specific language patterns to achieve various social and rhetorical goals. Readers will learn how laughter-talk functions as a tactical tool in conversation. The text examines how individuals use these linguistic strategies to construct a specific identity, make argumentative points, or manage social standing by threatening or saving face. While laughter and humor are not always the same, this study addresses their relationship within the broader context of linguistic interaction. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the strategic use of language and the communicative functions of laughter in social discourse.
