Throughout recorded history, mankind has turned to language play
as a source of entertainment and intellectual stimulation. This
unique new reference provides comprehensive listings and
explainations, together with samples and historical information,
concerning the hundreds of letter and word games, puzzles, and
linguistic entertainments that enrich our cultural life.
In an introductory section, the author discusses the various
ways of manipulating words and letters and the relation of this
pastime to literature, linguistics, education and humor. He
comments on the use of word-play techniques in the teaching of
language arts, noting their demonstrated benefits in stimulating
creativity and motivating the unwilling student. Turning to the
literary uses of language play, he talks about writers--from
Shakespeare, Dickens, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein to the
dadaists, Edward Lear, Ogden Nash, and various contemporary
literary artists--whose linguistic devices run the gamut from
riddles, acrostics, cross-word puzzles, and anagrams--are
considered, along with individual and group games intended to
entertain, teach skills, or challenge the imagination or
intellect.
