Abstract:
This critical literature review explores the functions, pedagogical applications, and implications of humour discourse in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, drawing on ten empirical studies published between 2021 and 2025. Guided by three research questions and the Scopus database, the review investigates the types of humour employed, the strategies used by educators, and the broader theoretical and practical implications for English language teaching. The findings reveal that humour functions as a multi-modal and context-sensitive discourse resource that supports not only language

Abstract:
This research is a study of the use of Pidgin English in selected stand up comedy video clips and how these comedians achieve their goals with words. The study also identified the Critical Stylistic features that explain the comedies of the selected comedians. The comics’ choice of words is far from being incidental, superficial, or supplementary. Performers’ choices of words show how their ideas are embodied in language. That is to say, the effect of how a comedian uses words and humour strategies is vital for understanding the contextual meaning of jokes and how they appeal to lo

Abstract:
Variations in attention during intentional or incidental learning were investigated. Materials for intentional learning were presented to 165 college students in conjunction with peripheral cues of humorous and non-humorous materials presented for incidental learning. An hypothesized funneling effect, an attentional shift during learning to the incidental materials, was not found for humorous or non-humorous materials and intentional recall of materials. Subjects with high self-reported sense of humor attended significantly more than subjects with a low sense of humor to incidental humorous ma

This study examines the role of memes as a form of digital resistance in response to the Indian threat following the Pahalgam incident of April 22, 2025. When the geopolitical tension between Pakistan and India heightened Instagram emerged as platform where humour and satire were used to encounter hostility. This study is based on thematic analysis of 24 purposefully selected memes shared in a week after the pahalgam incident. The research identifies recurring themes such as satirical nationalism, military symbolism, historical parallels, and emotional catharsis. These memes were political exp

Abstract:
Determination of elapsed time since death in small cetaceans can be important to our understanding of the nature of their interactions with fishing operations. This pilot study was conducted to determine the potential diagnostic usefulness of ocular fluid (vitreous humour) and core body temperature to estimate postmortem intervals in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). Core temperature and concentrations of various constituents of vitreous humour (glucose, urea, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus) were determined in 24 harbour porpoises incidentally caught in gr

Abstract:
Abstract Firefighters are reluctant to talk about firefighters’ humor with outsiders. This closed attitude has led to a lack of understanding of this important coping strategy in the outside world. It is not clear how firefighters experience humor and its role as part of the fire service culture and why they consider humor to be important when coping with critical incidents. Data has been collected by means of 20 participant observations and 72 interviews with Dutch firefighters from 37 different fire stations.

Abstract:
This memoir attempts to capture the humor and sheer incongruity of working across cultures in an international career spanning diplomacy and education. Written in a light hearted tone, it also delves into tragic consequences in countries such as Somalia, Libya and Greece. While critical in many respects of US foreign policy, it also hopes to attract adventurous young men and women of today's generation to possible careers in diplomacy. The author uses humor and anecdote to highlight the monumental changes in the world environment and practice of diplomacy in the short space of a single career.

Abstract:
AbstractAn antisemitic death wish is an ultimate form of a threat or curse, by virtue of an explicit, implicit, violent or non-violent reference to the death or destruction of Jews or Israelis, with the possible target also being the State of Israel or Zionism. Threats and curses express the suggestion or wish that something detrimental will, or should, happen to Jews. While they can encompass a broad range of unfavourable circumstances or incidents, death wishes refer specifically to the extreme end of the spectrum. All three of these categories can express their meaning violently, meeting th

Abstract:
Jane Bowles was born on February 22, 1917, a short, usually harsh month—it seems right for her. Bowles’s unique writing and life were cut short, derailed by neuroses, alcoholism, physical ill-ness. Her friends remember her sharp wit, agile mind, gaiety, humor, outrageousness. While she lived, stories about wild Jane Bowles circulated in Tangier where she resided from 1948. Back then she was a living legend, but the flux of reputation—here today, gone tomorrow—sends her body of work into and out of print (OP).

Abstract:
Abstract One incident of the reality effect of images is that of the introduction of the comedic and corporeal into judgements in a visible form. The image enacts and theatricalizes the subjects of decision, and these pictorial displays bring with them elements of farce and satire, laughter and lampoon. The judiciary are neither immune to the allure of humour as alleviation of the boredom of trial, nor do they always resist the desire to pillory litigants who, in their view, have misbehaved. Subtending the depiction of bodies and their foibles is also on occasion an erotic drive commensurate w

Abstract:
Abstract Plato’s Parmenides today finds itself in a strange position: it is clearly an important work, but its import remains remarkably unclear. The difficulty of analyzing this text is due, in part, to its complicated structure. Within three frames we find the dialogue proper, itself consisting of two parts connected by a brief transitional section. The first part of the main dialogue is a series of rather brief exchanges enlivened by humor and some dramatic incident; the second part consists of almost thirty Stephanus pages of obscure and unadorned argument. These two parts are so strikingl

Chucky is the product of an interracial union; his mother is Navajo while his father is Black and Mexican. Along with his three siblings, he was placed in the custody of his maternal aunt, Isabelle, because of a very tragic incident. At the age of five, he witnessed his father murder his mother. Despite all the turmoil, Chucky is remarkably well adjusted and level-headed. Unlike many of his peers, he has managed to stay out of any serious trouble. He has chosen to respond to heartache with humor, and he has developed a reputation as a prankster. With his gregarious personality, it is no surpri

The background of the human eye consists of a variety of layers, which have slightly different optical properties. The change in refractive index between the aqueous humor and the internal limiting membrane of the retina results in a specular reflection of light incident on this layer. The state of polarization of this specularly reflected light is generally maintained. However, the polarization state of light being scattered from deeper retinal layers is changed. In general, the light detected in an ophthalmoscope is a combination of specularly and diffusely reflected light of several retinal
