Abstract:
This thesis is a sociological examination of racist humour that uses a) linguistic models of humour to highlight how the mechanisms of humour work rhetorically, and b) the sociological theories of Zygmunt Bauman on the characteristics of order-building discourse in modernity and postmodernity. These ideas are applied to four specific modes or case studies of racist humour to show how it impacts on modem and postmodern discourse. In my first case study, embodied racist humour, a derivative of biological racism, is identified as a racism primarily aimed at black people in the US context, by expr

Abstract:
With the invention of photography and the camera, people have been given the possibility to immortalize moments in time that evoke incongruities in everyday life and document photographic jokes laughing in the face of death or ridiculing a certain class of people or race. Therefore, the camera has served as a means for different types of laughter not always with the subject as the humourist but the photographer himself. The aim of this work is to analyse how photographic humour works and its diachronic development throughout the years with particular focus on dark humour and how the latter is

Abstract:
Humour is one of the most interesting and puzzling aspects of human behaviour. Despite the attention it has received from fields such as philosophy, linguistics, and psychology, there have been only few attempts to create computational models for humour recognition and analysis. In this thesis, I use corpus-based approaches to formulate and test hypotheses concerned with the processing of verbal humour. The thesis makes two important contributions. First, it brings empirical evidence that computational approaches can be successfully applied to the task of humour recognition. Through experiment

In Comparison to other psychological topics, research into humour is relatively limited, despite humour being a ubiquitous phenomenon and an important coping tool. The few studies that have been performed have mainly adopted the approach of quantifying humour using psychometric measures. The inconsistent findings of these studies prompted the starting point of this thesis, which replicates a study testing the stress moderating effects of humour according to various psychometric measures.

Abstract:
The vitreous humour is the substance that fills the posterior chamber. The vitreous body ensures the adherence of the retina to the underlying layers and acts as a barrier for heat and drug transport between the anterior and the posterior segments of the eye. In the medical literature many authors have postulated the existence of a connection between the fluid dynamics within the vitreous chamber during eye movements (especially when the substance filling the chamber is a liquid) and the occurrence of the retinal detachment.

Abstract:
By reclaiming a wide range of comic works in key literary genres, my thesis proposes that contrary to prevailing critical discourse, humour was a widespread, intrinsic and valued part of children’s literature in the period 1800-1840. Histories of children’s literature in this era are inexorably tied to an antithetical configuration of instruction versus amusement. Although in recent criticism this binary has been challenged, the critical discussion of amusing texts remains limited to a narrow canon of works operating in opposition to the moral tale and other instructive texts.

Humour, whilst frequently occurring within the Critical Care environment, has been traditionally viewed as both macabre and in poor taste.

Therefore, by describing this experience, the thesis seeks to elucidate this concept of humour and the experience of this phenomenon for the Registered Nurse working within the Critical Care envir

This thesis describes a formal model of a subtype of humour, and the implementation of that model in a program that generates jokes of that subtype. Although there is a great deal of literature on humour in general, very little formal work has been done on puns, and none has been implemented. All current linguistic theories of humour are over-general and not falsifiable. Our model, which is specific, formal, implemented and evaluated, makes a significant contribution to the field. Punning riddles are our chosen subtype of verbal humour, for several reasons. They are very common, they exhibit c
