To this end, an analytical model is proposed which takes into consideration the aspects of context which are relevant to the production and reception of humor, and hence to its sociopragmatic analysis. The model is employed for addressing research questions such as the following: Why may an utterance/text be intended and perceived as humorous by some speakers and fail for others? How and why may speakers attempt to regulate language use through humor? Why and how may the same humorous utterance/text engender diverse and contradictory interpretations? How do speakers create social groups and project social identities through humor? How could the sociopragmatic analysis of humor form the basis for teaching about humor within a critical literacy framework? 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/thr.12.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027214942.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027214942.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/thr.12.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/thr.12.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/thr.12.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/thr.12.hb.png 10 01 JB code thr.12.ded v vi 2 Miscellaneous 1 10 01 JB code thr.12.toc vii x 4 Table of contents 2 10 01 JB code thr.12.ack xi xii 2 Acknowledgments 3 10 01 JB code thr.12.int 1 9 9 Chapter 4 10 01 JB code thr.12.c1 10 38 29 Chapter 5 10 01 JB code thr.12.c2 39 65 27 Chapter 6 10 01 JB code thr.12.c3 66 102 37 Chapter 7 10 01 JB code thr.12.c4 103 125 23 Chapter 8 10 01 JB code thr.12.c5 126 149 24 Chapter 9 10 01 JB code thr.12.c6 150 223 74 Chapter 10 10 01 JB code thr.12.c7 224 226 3 Chapter 11 10 01 JB code thr.12.refs 227 257 31 References 12 10 01 JB code thr.12.ni 259 262 4 Index 13 10 01 JB code thr.12.si 263 264 2 Index 14 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20240718 2024 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027214942 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 125.00 EUR R 01 00 105.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 163.00 USD S 907029821 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code THR 12 Hb 15 9789027214942 13 2024023658 BB 01 THR 02 2212-8999 Topics in Humor Research 12 01 thr.12 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/thr.12 1 A01 Villy Tsakona Tsakona, Villy Villy Tsakona National and Kapodistrian University of Athens 01 eng 276 xi 264 LAN009030 v.2006 CFG 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.HUMOR Humor studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SOCIO Sociolinguistics and Dialectology 06 01 This monograph explores the diverse sociopragmatic functions and meanings of humorous discourse in various online contexts affecting its use.
