N2 - From cartoons to comic strips, through internet gags and humorous adverts, to sitcoms and funny remarks in editorials and opinion articles, the media thrive in linguistic manifestations of humour. Whether or not it serves as a playful distraction, a selling strategy, or an instrument to make a point, attack indirectly or voice the unspeakable, humour in the media deserves attention both as a discoursal device and a sociolinguistic phenomenon. This seminar invites papers that look into the various roles humour plays in print and audiovisual media, as well as the forms it takes, the purposes it serves, the butts it targets, the implications it carries and the differences it may assume across cultures. Research areas include, but are not limited to, (critical) discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, intercultural studies, semantics, pragmatics, semiotics, communication studies, and rhetoric.
