    The Linguistics of Laughter: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Laughter-Talk

    Alan Partington, "The Linguistics of Laughter: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Laughter-Talk "
    English | ISBN: 0415381665 | 2006 | 240 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1154 KB + 1094 KB

    The Linguistics of Laughter examines what speakers try to achieve by producing ‘laughter-talk’ (the talk preceding and eliciting an episode of laughter) and, by using abundant examples from language corpora, what hearers are signalling when they produce laughter.
    In particular, Alan Partington focuses on the tactical use of laughter-talk to achieve specific rhetorical, and strategic, ends: for example, to construct an identity, to make an argumentative point, to threaten someone else’s face or save one's own. Although laughter and humour are by no means always related, the book also considers the implications these corpus-based observations may have about humour theory in general.
