Do Jokes Have to Be Funny: Analysis of 50 “Theoretically Jokes”
Taylor, Julia (Purdue University)
This talk will analyze responses to funniness of five versions of 10 different jokes. The responses of one of them will then be compared to theoretical analysis and representation of the same joke based on Script-based Semantics Theory of Humor, General Theory of Verbal Humor, and Ontological Semantic Theory of Humor.
