Linguistic Theories of Humor by Salvatore Attardo
Requirements: .PDF reader, 37,8 MB
Overview: The intended audience of the book is similarly composite: theoreticallin- guists interested in the applications of linguistics to humor research and in its implications for linguistic theory; applied linguists, looking for empirical results and analytical methodologies to be applied to humor studies or ex- ported from humor studies to other areas; non-linguist academics interested in the interdisciplinary role of linguistics, both as a substantive field and methodologically (i.e., what linguists have found out about humor and how they do it); and, last but not least, the educated non-academic wishing to in- form him/herself about humor research from the point of view of the study of language. This broad audience has dictated some choices in organization, but primarily it is reflected in a special care in defining all non-elementary tech- nical terms (or providing pointers to such definitions) so that non-linguists may be able to follow the discussion, or may decide to skip some sections in which the technical aspects of the discussion offer few insight into humor research (but many into a linguistic issue). From the linguists' perspective this may give the impression that at times I am defining the obvious or over- simplifying the issues, but close reading will reveal, I hope, that even when I have simplified definitions and discussions for the sake of clarity, this neveraffects the substance of my arguments.
