Linguistics and language play
Berry, Roger.

Linguistics and language play[electronic resource] /by Roger Berry. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xiii, 220 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Basic Issues in Language Play -- Puns and other Terms in Language Play -- Phonology in Language Play -- Lexis in Language Play -- Semantics in Language Play -- Morphology in Language Play -- Syntax in Language Play -- Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis and Genre in Language Play -- Graphology in Language Play -- Headlines and Titles -- Advertising and Naming -- TV and other Comedy -- Jokes and Riddles -- Light Verse -- Popular Song -- Secret Language -- Word Games, Puzzles and Parlour Games -- Erroneous English -- Internet Language -- Playthings -- Crosswords -- Cross-linguistic Language Play -- Language Play in Learning and Teaching.

This book constitutes a comprehensive study of the field of language play from a linguistic viewpoint, demonstrating how linguistics can throw light on this important, but often under-rated, aspect of language use. It is both theoretical and descriptive in nature. In terms of the former, it proposes a 'ludic' function of language: that language is there to be played with, and that this is a universal feature of human activity. It rejects the traditional notion that language play is purely for 'fun' or entertainment and stresses the serious nature of certain ludic activities, such as cryptography. It discusses the notion of linguistic creativity, considering this to be inadequate in accounting for all aspects of language play. It assesses the value of popular terms such as 'pun' and introduces new terms/concepts such as 'serendipity' and 'internym' to account for important phenomena. From a descriptive viewpoint, the major portion of the book is devoted to an examination of the various linguistic levels/systems involved in language play (syntax, phonology, morphology, lexis, semantics, discourse and graphology), followed by an extensive study, based on original research, of their application in various fields of linguistic endeavour, for example, advertising, joke-telling, newspaper headlines, secret language, social interaction, etc. A consideration of the human element-in terms of the varying relationships involved-is a constant feature.
