Placing failed humor within the broader category of miscommunication and drawing on a range of conversational data, this text represents the first comprehensive study of failed humor. It provides a framework for classifying the types of failure that can occur, examines the strategies used by both speakers and hearers to avoid and manage failure.
Placing failed humor within the broader category of miscommunication and drawing on a range of conversational data, this text represents the first comprehensive study of failed humor. It provides a framework for classifying the types of failure that can occur, examines the strategies used by both speakers and hearers to avoid and manage failure, and highlights the crucial role humor plays in social identity and relationship management.
"The present volume constitutes a comprehensive account of failed humor and its relation to miscommunication in general. lt goes into significant detail and is provided with excellent conversational extracts as illustrations. [...] 1 find this book not only extremely instructive, clear, and convincing, but also entertaining, with a number of well-chosen examples illustrating the account. lt is highly recommendable by giving new insights into an area that is very little explored."
