Purdue University. Script opposition and logical mechanism in punning [Elektronische Daten] [Christian F. Hempelmann] Based on a larger project on punning, this paper outlines the application of the General Theory of Verbal Humor to imperfect puns. The aim is to illustrate the intricate mechanisms of this seemingly simple joke type. Application necessitates the expansion and further formalization of the linguistic tools available for the description and explanation of humor, in this case centrally the knowledge resources for script opposition and logical mechanism. This elaboration of the GTVH is possible, because of its explicitly theory-based and formalized nature. Key results are the distinction of punning and wordplay, as well as verbal and referential humor. © Walter de Gruyter Sociolinguistics nationallicence Anthropology nationallicence Pun nationallicence GTVH nationallicence wordplay nationallicence verbal humor nationallicence referential humor nationallicence Humor - International Journal of Humor Research Walter de Gruyter 17/4(2004-09-23), 381-392 0933-1719 17:4<381 2004 17 humr https://doi.org/10.1515/humr.2004.17.4.381 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/humr.2004.17.4.381 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Hempelmann Christian F. 1.
