The Routledge Handbook of Language and Humor presents the first
ever comprehensive, in-depth treatment of all the sub-fields of the
linguistics of humor, broadly conceived as the intersection of the
study of language and humor. The reader will find a thorough
historical, terminological, and theoretical introduction to the
field, as well as detailed treatments of the various approaches to
language and humor. Deliberately comprehensive and wide-ranging,
the handbook includes chapter-long treatments on the traditional
topics covered by language and humor (e.g., teasing, laughter,
irony, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, the major linguistic
theories of humor, translation) but also cutting-edge treatments of
internet humor, cognitive linguistics, relevance theoretic, and
corpus-assisted models of language and humor. Some chapters, such
as the variationist sociolinguistcs, stylistics, and politeness are
the first-ever syntheses of that particular subfield. Clusters of
related chapters, such as conversation analysis, discourse analysis
and corpus-assisted analysis allow multiple perspectives on complex
trans-disciplinary phenomena. This handbook is an indispensable
reference work for all researchers interested in the interplay of
language and humor, within linguistics, broadly conceived, but also
in neighboring disciplines such as literary studies, psychology,
sociology, anthropology, etc. The authors are among the most
distinguished scholars in their fields.
