Theoretical Issues in Humor: Building Bridges across Disciplines (LAFAL 4)

The fourth LAFAL symposium (2016), entitled “Theoretical Issues in Humour: Building Bridges across Disciplines”, is convened to provide a forum for not only linguists but also researchers representing other disciplines (such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, culture studies, literature studies, and media studies) who are interested in concepts and issues of relevance to humour studies. The primary objective will be to explore multifarious humorous phenomena to enhance humour theory across a variety of scholarly disciplines.
