Humorous Discourse
Author: Wladyslaw Chlopicki
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 1501507052
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
This book attempts to discuss selected but thorny issues of humor research that form the major stumbling blocks as well as challenges in humor studies at large and thus merit insightful discussion. Any discourse is action, so the text-creation process is always set in a non-verbal context, built of a social and communicative situation, and against the background of relevant culture. On the other hand, humor scholars claim that humorous discourse has its special, essential features that distinguish it from other discourses. The pragmatic solution to the issue of potential circularity of humor defined in terms of discourse and discourse in terms of humor seems only feasible, and thus there is a need to discuss the structure and mechanisms of humorous texts and humorous performances. The chapters in the present volume, contributed by leading scholars in the field of humor studies, address the issues from various theoretical perspectives, from contextual semantics through General Theory of Verbal Humor, cognitive linguistics, discourse studies, sociolinguistics, to Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor, providing an excellent overview of the field to novices and experts alike.

Linguistic Structure and Change
Author: Thomas Berg
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780198236726
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Thomas Berg challenges context-free theories of linguistics; he is concerned with the way the term 'explanation' is typically used in the discipline. He argues that real explanations cannot emerge from a view which asserts the autonomy of language, but only from an approach which seeks to establish a connection between language and the contexts in which it is embedded. The author examines the psychological context in detail. He uses an interactiveactivation model of language processing to derive predictions about synchronic linguistic patterns, the course of linguistic change, and the structure of poetic rhymes. The majority of these predictions are borne out, leading the author to conclude that the structure of language is shaped by the properties of the mechanism which puts it to use, and that psycholinguistics thus qualifies as one likely approach from which to derive an explanation of linguistic structure.

Blending, from English to Arabic
Author: Ekhlas Ali Mohsin
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527571939
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
This book examines the interesting linguistic phenomenon of blending, where new words are formed to enrich the lexicon of a language. Blending in English has been thoroughly investigated to the extent that researchers and scholars refer to the results of these investigations when discussing this phenomenon in their respective languages. This book builds on existing studies by investigating blending in Arabic, and adopts a linguistic, systematic, and quantitative approach to discussing and analysing this process. It presents practical findings and prepares the road for further investigation in this field.
