Dear all,
Two RT-related references dealing with the pragmatics of humor:
Yus, F. (2002) "Stand-up comedy and cultural spread: The case of sex roles". Babel Afial, Special volume on literary and linguistic aspects of humor, 245-292 (48 pages) (Cristina Larkin and Jorge Figueroa, eds.).
Yus, F. (2003) "Humor and the search for relevance". Journal of Pragmatics 35(9): 1295-1331 (37 pages). Special issue on the pragmatics of humor (Salvatore Attardo, ed.).
I can send anybody interested a Word file of the first one and a pdf file of the second one (as e-mail attachments).
Cordially,
Dr. Francisco Yus
