The Routledge Handbook Of Language And Humor by Salvatore Attardo
A comprehensive reference that surveys how humor is produced, interpreted, and functions across languages and contexts, integrating linguistic, pragmatic, cognitive, and sociocultural perspectives. It reviews foundational theories and models, analyzes devices such as wordplay, irony, and sarcasm, and examines humor in conversation, literature, media, and digital communication, while addressing cross-cultural variation, developmental and clinical aspects, computational and experimental methods, and applications in education, translation, and the workplace.
