This book addresses the question 'What is humour?' by first untangling the definitions of humour, amusement and funniness before then providing a new theory of humour which draws upon recent research in philosophy, psychology, linguistics and neuroscience. The theory is built up without assuming any prior knowledge and illustrated through humorous examples which are both entertaining and educational for anyone curious about what makes things funny. The book is then an accessible illumination of joking matters from dinner tables to online platforms to comedy clubs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030143813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030143817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Alan Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073516368127,"sku":"9783030143817","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db31bfde-f60e-484a-9b93-eb4d67dd317d.jpg?v=1685448281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-philosophy-of-humour-alan-roberts-9783030143817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
