Meeting Description:
Humour, inherently associated with funniness, amusement and laughter, has
attracted scholarly interest for centuries. Over the past three decades, humour
studies have been developing at full tilt, with innumerable insightful
publications released each year.
The conference is convened to provide a forum for linguists interested in the
area of humour research. The primary objectives will be to explore the nature
of multifarious humorous phenomena and to enhance methodological tools used in
humour studies across a variety of linguistic disciplines.
