Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - How are humorous meanings generated and interpreted Understanding a joke involves knowledge of the language code (a matter mostly of semantics) and background knowledge necessary for making the inferences to get the joke (a matter of pragmatics).
