Series Statement:
The Dynamics of Wordplay v.3
Content:
Wordplay involving several linguistic codes is an important modality of ludic language. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the topic, discussing examples from different epochs, genres, and communicative situations. The contributions illustrate the multi-dimensionality, linguistic make-up, and the special interactive potential of wordplay across linguistic and cultural boundaries, including the challenging practice of translation. S. Knospe, Greifswald University; A. Onysko, Klagenfurt University/Ca’ Foscari University of Venice; M. Goth, Bochum University.
