Summary/Abstract: This special issue on Humour and Folklore contains 15 articles by 18 contributors. Ten studies are in English, three in Russian, one is in French, and one in German. This issue grew from seven panels and plenary lectures on humour research presented in Hungary in 2007 at the International Symposium “Humour and Linguistics/Folklore” organized by Anna T. Litovkina and Péter Barta at the Illyés Gyula College of Education (Szekszárd, 14–16 September 2007). The program committee accepted proposals for papers on focused topics that examined humour in relation to linguistics or folklore.
