The theory is informed by current research in psycholinguistics and cognitive science. It is predicated on the fact that there are humorous mechanisms in long texts that have no counterpart in jokes. The book includes a number of case studies, among them Oscar Wilde's Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Allais' story Han Rybeck. A ground-breaking discussion of the quantitative distribution of humor in select texts is presented.Humor Research [HR]Discourse analysis, NarrativeWit and humorHistory and criticismSemanticsPragmaticsDiscourse analysis, Narrative.Wit and humorHistory and criticism.Semantics.Pragmatics.401/.41ET 785BSZrvkAttardo Salvatore1962-1465734MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789480203321Humorous texts3675928UNINA
