Jokes and the Linguistic Mind
Aarons, Debra (University of New South Wales, Australia)
Through the lens of cognitive science, this book investigates jokes that play on some aspect of the structure and function of language. In so doing, Debra Aarons shows that these 'linguistic jokes' can evoke our tacit knowledge of the language we use.
