"The present Handbook testifies to Salvatore Attardos lifetime involvement in the linguistic mechanisms of humor and its societal effects. The collection of articles he has gathered here represents at the same time a milestone, a compendium, and a beacon: as a milestone, it marks the advances obtained in humor studies up to and including our times; as a state-of-the-art compendium, it both reveals the state of the art, and details its cutting edges; and as a beacon, it identifies skerries and dangerous currents, while at the same time shining light on the path ahead across the uncharted waters of future study. I highly recommend the work to anybody involved in humor studies: from the interested bystander to the advanced student to the accomplished researcher and teacher and beyond." Jacob L. Mey, The University of Southern Denmark
"This book will undoubtedly become the go-to book for scholars wanting updated summaries of linguistic concepts, tools and approaches to humour. Leading scholars review their fields in succinct and accessible chapters, introduced by Attardo. Topics range from key terms and theories of humour to neurolinguistics and the translation of humour, from corpus-assisted studies and humour markers to failed humour and humour of the internet. This is a truly invaluable collection." Jessica Milner Davis, University of Sydney
