The Routledge Handbook of Language and Humor is a groundbreaking work that provides a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the multifaceted field of linguistics of humor, which is the intersection of language study and humor research. This handbook offers a thorough historical, terminological, and theoretical introduction to the field, along with detailed discussions of various approaches to language and humor. Deliberately comprehensive and wide-ranging, it encompasses chapter-long treatments on traditional topics such as teasing, laughter, irony, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, major linguistic theories of humor, translation, as well as cutting-edge discussions of internet humor, cognitive linguistics, relevance theoretic, and corpus-assisted models of language and humor.
Some chapters, such as those on variationist sociolinguistics, stylistics, and politeness, represent the first-ever syntheses of their respective subfields. Clusters of related chapters, such as conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and corpus-assisted analysis, facilitate multiple perspectives on complex trans-disciplinary phenomena.
This handbook is an essential reference for researchers interested in the interplay of language and humor, not only within linguistics but also in neighboring disciplines such as literary studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and more. The authors, who are among the most distinguished scholars in their respective fields, have contributed their expertise to create a comprehensive and authoritative resource that will be invaluable to scholars and students alike.
