This book provides a first thorough analysis of internet humour
from a cognitive-pragmatic perspective, covering a wide range of
discourses that are pervasive online and focusing especially on
messaging interactions, social networking sites and memes. Its
chapters describe the inferential strategies implemented to turn
online coded discourses into meaningful interpretations, which in
turn can be devised and manipulated for the sake of humour.
Furthermore, and apart from the typical object of pragmatic
research (humorous discourses), the book emphasises the importance
of the interfaces’ design and of the qualities of the users
engaged in humorous interactions (called contextual constraints),
additionally highlighting the parallel significance of the various
effects, shaped as feelings and emotions, that stem from humorous
communication on the internet. In sum, the book delivers a rich and
detailed account of humorous internet discourses through dissecting
their affordances as a medium, tracking the users’ intentions,
and predicting the audiences’ interpretive strategies, with the
goal of helping the reader obtain a better understanding of
internet humour and its role in today’s online interactions.
