Book Description
So this English professor comes into class and starts talking about the textual organization of jokes, the taxonomy of puns, the relations between the linguistic form and the content of humorous texts, and other past and current topics in language- based research into humor. At the end he stuffs all the various approaches to verbal humor into linguistic theory as a whole. Nobody gets it, see, so he tells them to buy the book.
