Abstract:

The article is focused upon the analysis of stylistic means, devices by which Alan Bradley achieves the comic effect in the novel “Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie”. In recent decades, the problem of creation of comic and linguistic means of its expression in works of fiction has been the object of attention of many researchers. However, until now, the linguistic and stylistic devices used by the authors of humorous texts to create a comic effect and express an individual worldview position have not been sufficiently studied, since the researchers focused mainly on the literary aspect, the p

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we look at characterisation in the popular fiction genre Chick Lit by analysing laughter-talk in conversational humour. This is the first systematic analysis of how a variety of humour phenomena are linguistically realised in the genre despite humour being as aspect recurrently referred to as intrinsic to the genre. We use a combination of methods, both corpus-based and qualitative in nature, to identify instances in which laughter occurs, which we (broadly) associate with the presence of humour. Thus, with the use of self-compiled corpora, we assess the nature of humor

Abstract:

The fiction of Samuel Richardson is not fundamentally humourless. This article analyzes the rich vein of humour found in Pamela in her Exalted Condition (1745) and The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753–54) to show that Richardson was acutely aware of the interpersonal power of laughter and that he harnessed it for aesthetic and moral ends. Novelistic scenes of spontaneous conversation dramatize the various and often embodied effects of humorous performances. Using theories of gender and humour, I argue that Richardson critiques and modifies Restoration wit by using women’s raillery as the

Seemingly, in an almost cynical contrast to this grim topicality, stands the novel’s general and cohesive humorous tone, its

Abstract:

This essay proposes that psychological difficulties experienced by Beckett in the early 1930s led him to study psychology texts that were then incorporated into his fiction at both a manifest and latent level. It argues that the manifest material is used as part of a parody of psychoanalytic discourse, but also as part of a complex semiotic in which Beckett attempts to overcome his own birth trauma by displacing the maternal imago onto the Irish public house. This in turn gives rise to latent unconscious impulses which function as signs of both wombing and weaning in Beckett's early fiction. I

Training her eye on and lending her ear to Belle Époque Paris, Marni registers the conversations of Parisians as they move about the city.

Humorous fiction, as a form of popular literature, focuses on real-life episodes that are laugh-out-loud funny. The protagonists of such novels are often characterized by comical or silly traits, or fools who always meet with misfortune in their acts of kindness and helpfulness. By skillfully depicting the weaknesses and flaws of these characters as well as a series of coincidences and misunderstandings, humor novels successfully reflect the real face of life and the author's creative ideas.

Samuel Johnson has an interesting comment on consequences and the telling of “white lies.” For example “Sick People and Children are often to be deceived for their Good.” David Hume apparently endorses this concept in one of his letters.

Hume, I argue, would take issue with this claim in that there are cases (like the two above) that warrant telling white lies.

Humour is a key facet of John Banville's aesthetic but is currently an under-researched aspect of his oeuvre.

By contrast, the Banvillean uncanny is often examined as a defining feature of the writer's later work. This article proposes that Banville's novels demonstrate the conjunction of the comic and the uncanny, exposing how they work as interrelated, mutually productive modes. This is especially true when theatricality is also in play,

Abstract This article looks into fictitious meals and the use of culinary recipe form in experimental and procedural literature, namely, works of constrained writing associated with OuLiPo (Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle). The recipe form is first scrutinized from the procedural, structural, and historical viewpoints, also concerning its lesser-known imaginative and esoteric genealogy.

Abstract:

Der 1891 von Hans Hoffmann veröffentlichte Text Der Teufel vom Sande erschien in einer Novellensammlung, die sich mit der Geschichte und dem geläufigen Bild Pommerns auseinandersetzte. Der damals populäre Text schildert eine fiktive Geschichte vor historischem Hintergrund. Neben seiner Unterhaltungsfunktion – die Liebesgeschichte ist für den Plot relativ wichtig – spielt die literarische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kulturerbe und der Identität der Pommern um 1900 eine gewichtige Rolle. Auf Stereotypen basierend – und diese humoristisch nutzend – bot Hoffmann eine Vision Pommerns an, die zum Zei

Cross-Сultural communication cannot exist without interaction, both oral and written. One of the types of written communication is epistolary text. This paper considers one kind of epistolary texts, the so-called ‘dead letter’, i.e. a letter which cannot be delivered to the recipient because this person does not exist. The author introduces the term ‘phantom letter’ since a corresponding term has not been found in the Russian language, besides the existing English term ‘dead letter’ does not fully reveal the phenomenon under discussion.

With a weekly circulation of approximately 50,000 – 60,000 issues in the mid-Victorian period, Punch became one of the most influential journalistic witnesses in mid-Victorian Britain, renowned for its unique sense of humour, audacious approach to current social and political matters and, most of all, for an unprecedented mastery

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in detective literature among the youngest readers. The appeal of this type of literature is confirmed not only by a kind of “publication overproduction” observable in the segment of books for children and young adults, but also by reader rankings. The latter also show two significant trends: firstly — the declining age of the youngest readers who choose detective stories, secondly — girls are beginning to prevail among the young recipients of this literature. The goal of the article is to seek an answer to the question why young girls i
