The anthology provides multifaceted insights into humour and overviews of its different aspects from a discourse or text linguistics perspective. The authors deal with various dimensions of humour, including its mechanisms, use, and effect. The volume's special merit lies in adding new dimensions to what is already known or presenting it in a new light. As a result, readers do not necessarily receive a detailed analysis of humour, but they are undoubtedly offered diversified and lucid descriptions of a phenomenon that is deeply rooted in many (con-)texts and constitutes an inherent part of social life.
