Dear colleagues,
I am looking for literature on bilingual puns, i.e. puns based on similar sounding words across two languages. An example of the kind of thing I'm thinking of is German _fair-aendern_, from German _veraendern_ 'change' and English _fair_, or German _Design oder nicht sein_, from German _Sein oder nicht sein_ 'To be or not to be' and English _Design_. I will post a summary of the responses. Thanks, - Anatol Stefanowitsch Dept. of Linguistics, Rice University |
