Humour is a funny thing - everyone knows it but no-one knows what
it is. This book addresses the question 'What is humour?' by first
untangling the definitions of humour, amusement and funniness
before then providing a new theory of humour which draws upon
recent research in philosophy, psychology, linguistics and
neuroscience. The theory is built up without assuming any prior
knowledge and illustrated through humorous examples which are both
entertaining and educational for anyone curious about what makes
things funny. The book is then an accessible illumination of joking
matters from dinner tables to online platforms to comedy clubs.
