Graeme Ritchie advocates a cognitive science approach to humour research, aiming for higher levels of detail and formality than has been customary in humour research, and argues the case for analyzing jokes and humour.
The author begins by considering how to study jokes rigorously: the assumptions to make, the guidelines to follow and the pitfalls to avoid. A critique of other work on humour is also provided. This introduces some important concepts, and also demonstrates the lack of agreement about what a theory of humour should look like. The language devices used in various jokes, such as puns or humour based on misinterpretation, are analysed in detail. The central part of the book develops, and demonstrates, proposals for how best to analyze the workings of simple jokes. Finally, the author makes some general suggestions about the language devices that seem to be central to the construction of jokes.
The Linguistic Analysis of Jokes will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of humour research, linguistics and cognitive science.
' ... an exceptionally detailed and sophisticated analysis of puns that is far superior to any of its predecessors. His discussions of humour theory, of the nature of humorous incongruity and of the very varied mechanisms that make jokes work are likewise entertaining. Ritchie has written a notable book that belongs in the library of anyone interested in linguistic analysis or indeed in humour.' - Walter De Gruyter Publishers
'It is written in a lucid style to benefit those with less technical knowledge of the field too.' - Linguist List
'Graeme Ritchie's book is definately a learning experience. Reader-friendly, written in a lucid style, and yet rigorous in argumentation, it is a pleasure to read. Ritchie takes his readers on a tour of selected sights of the complex world of humor research.' - Journal of Pragmatics
