Synopsis

This volume is the first of two bringing together selected contributions from linguistics and literary studies focusing on the variegated manifestations of wordplay in different communicative settings. By investigating basic techniques and ludic traditions, the volumes offer a fresh look on the metalinguistic/metadiscursive dimension of wordplay as well as on its various kinds of interplays.

Media Reviews
[...] this well-documented book has the merit of harmoniously gathering together many examples of wordplay from different contexts, of reporting their in-depth analyses, and of achieving the announced aim of showing the variety of wordplay functions by means of a metalinguistic and metadiscursive reflection.
Carla Canestrari in: European Journal of Humour Research 5 (2017), 1, S. 99-101
