dc.description.abstract | Capitalizing on the universal linguistic feature of ambiguity, punning utterances
can be found in languages as distinct as the Indo-European, marginally
inflected English and the Sino-Tibetan, monosyllabic, inflectionless
Chinese. Though forming a tiny fraction of the utterances produced in
these languages, they tend to stand out and can be encountered in diverse
communicative settings, including poetry and prose, jokes and comedy
routines, advertising slogans and book titles. Whether perceived as “the
lowest form of wit” or a lofty rhetorical device, they perform a wide range
of functions which are often grounded in distinct cultural and historical
backgrounds they are embedded in. The objective of this article is to identify
the most striking differences in the functions served by typical English
and Chinese puns and to investigate the cultural factors underlying these
differences. Adopting Jakobson’s model of language functions as the organizing
principle for the discussion, I examine a range of puns in the two
languages, comparing and contrasting the motivations for their use. | pl_PL |
