WORTKOMIK: AUSLÖSENDE MECHANISMEN UND ÜBERSETZUNGSMÖGLICHKEITEN
Language Humour: Mechanisms and Translation Strategies

Summary/Abstract: Grounding her approach in Coşeriu’s Integral Linguistics, the author of the present contribution submits to the reader her own views on the infringement of language norms as a main generator of linguicomedy. In a first phase, the specimens extracted from the research corpus are anatomized in terms of various devices orchestrating the comic effects, while later on, after pinning down the language-norm type flouted in each joke, the author advances original translation strategies meant to help the punchline survive intact.
