A Conceptual Blending Theory of Humour: Selected British Comedy Productions in Focus - Lodz Studies in Language
Joanna Jablonska-Hood
The book analyses a selection of British comedy productions (e.g. The Office, Extras, Carry On, etc.) by means of conceptual integration theory, aka blending, as proposed by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. It shows that blending can successfully explain the origin of humour and thus it can be labelled as a potential linguistic theory of humour.
