Abstract:

Translating a humorous language is difficult for translators since even when the intended meaning is translated, the humorous effect may be missed due to the different translation strategies used in translating the text. This study intends to reveal the methods used in translating the language that contributed to the humorous effect in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid graphic series. Hopefully, this study will contribute to the literature on translating Humour into Arabic and determine whether translating Humour into Arabic effectively conveys its intended meaning beyond the language barrier.

Abstract:

Humour is deeply rooted in culture and may differ remarkably across societies. Translating humour interlingually necessitates navigating cultural variations and references, mainly because humour often relies on language-specific elements such as puns, idiomatic expressions and wordplay. Translating these linguistic features while preserving the comedic effect can be particularly challenging. This study investigates the complexity of translating humour that depends on a combination of both cultural and linguistic elements involving play with words and sounds from the Egyptian Arabic vernacular

Abstract:

This study is concerned with translating humorous expressions from English into the Arabic Language with reference to Loss, Gain, and Compensation. The idea of the research developed from an observation by the researcher that when the target audience watches a drama of funny episodes, it is hard to interact, laugh or even smile, although the drama may be accompanied by subtitles in Arabic language. The study aims to illustrate the causes of untanslatability and loss, gain, and compensation in humor translation. To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher selected a sample of 10 humorous q

While Audiovisual Translation (AVT) studies have expanded since their emergence in the 1950s, research on humour translation between English and Arabic remains understudied, particularly regarding culturally sensitive content. This study addresses this gap by examining the strategies employed in translating humorous content from English to Arabic in subtitled media.

In short, artificial intelligence is already able to recognize humour, and reacts to it accordingly. Furthermore, people laugh with humorous machin

Sense of humour can be a valuable asset for teachers in various ways. For starters, it can aid in creating a positive and enjoyable environment for learning, which can promote student engagement and motivation. Teachers who use humour in the classroom can help to break down barriers and foster a sense of community among students and teachers. This, in turn, can lead to improved relationships and a more positive classroom climate. Therefore sense of humour is an essential trait for a teacher to manage the classroom successfully.

A philosophy of laughter in the double sense of the genitive is attempted. The objective sense is the usual one in the history of thought: the common opinion is to consider humour as the other of thought. Paradigmatically, philosophy, as metaphysics, would be the agelastic intellectual position par excellence: the zero degree of humour. However, interpreting the genitive in a subjective sense, laughter reveals itself as thought, and thought as the continuation of laughter through the brain as zygomatic muscle. Thought and laughter expand reality. The sense of humour shows itself to be perhaps

In recent years, humour has re-entered the public sphere as a serious and potentially explosive topic of debate, giving rise to social conflicts and controversies.

I take Dutch and American studies of racism, white innocence and racial ignorance as a starting point to construct a theory of comic innocence, which is tested through the analysis of responses in both legacy and social media to a se

Abstract:

The subtitling translation of humour presents unique challenges due to linguistic, cultural, and contextual differences between source and target audiences. This study examines the subtitling translation of humour in the Chinese film Hi, Mom, focusing on three types of audiovisual humour: international jokes, jokes reflecting a community’s sense of humour, and language-dependent jokes. By analyzing examples from the film, this research highlights the complexities of translating wordplay, irony, and culturally specific references while maintaining comedic effects. It also explores strategies su

Abstract:

Studies often treat sense of humour as a unidimensional construct. Recently, however, four different humour styles have been hypothesized and validated by the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ). In the present two studies, first, the HSQ received cross‐cultural validation among French‐speaking Belgian students (94 high school and 87 college students). Second, apart from some similarities (Extraversion, low need for closure), the four humour styles were found to be differently related to personality. Social and self‐enhancing humour styles were positively related to Agreeableness, Openness, and s

Abstract:

Abstract In Danish early childhood education and care (ECEC), fun is often emphasised as a key pedagogical tool but is used rather unreflexively. While well-being and happiness have been studied in various ways, the potential of fun is not included in theoretical discussions regarding happiness and well-being, although most people identify having fun as a fundamental reason for being happy. A researcher and three student assistants spent six months in three ECEC settings with a focus on episodes characterised by fun and laughter. Participant observation and interviews were conducted.

Abstract:

This paper focuses primarily on the Dutch and Italian translations of Laroui’s works, in which the two central features of his writing, i.e. humour and multilingualism, are strictly related. Laroui is a transcultural author fluent in French, English, Dutch, dialectal Arabic and classical Arabic, and his works reflect the different layers of experiences and languages he has gathered during his life. Humour, on the other hand, is a way for him to present, in an axiological opposition, different viewpoints that mostly cross cultures, nationalities and social hierarchies. Our analysis of Le Jour o

Abstract Introduction: Although there has been considerable discussion regarding the presence of therapeutic aspects of humour in the nurse educational programme and syllabus, little is known about the use of humour in the nurse - patient relationship and the needed topics in the Slovene educational system for nurses. From educational and medical perspectives, humour is anything that evokes laughter and it has been proven that laughter contributes to physical health. A sense of humour in nursing has a conformist, quantitative and productive importance which is manifested through the essential

Abstract:

: Humour is a discursive strategy with huge persuasive potential, which values the interlocutor. The use of comic register is not only proof of the communicator's intelligence, but also a form of interlocutor consideration, who is credited from the beginning with a sense of humour. Using comicality in persuasive communication is an option as tempting as it is risky, because not everyone tastes the same kind of humour. In this article we shall try to reveal the specifics of the comic register in discursive strategies and propose a humour typology, based on five relevant criteria: thematic, atti
