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. 410 0$aHumor Research [HR] 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Narrative 606 $aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSemantics 606 $aPragmatics 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Narrative. 615 0$aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aPragmatics. 676 $a401/.41 686 $aET 785$qBSZ$2rvk 700 $aAttardo$b Salvatore$f1962-$01465734 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789480203321 996 $aHumorous texts$93675928 997 $aUNINA
