Abstract
Salvatore Attardo is one of the most important scholars for linguistic approach to humour. His books and articles have been highly influential since the early 1990s: “Script Theory revis(it)ed: Joke similarity and joke representation model” (1991, with Victor Raskin), Linguistic Theories of Humor (1994), Humorous Texts: A Semantic and Pragmatic Analysis (2001), to mention only a few. He also edited The Encyclopedia of Humor Studies (2014) and The Routledge Handbook of Language and Humor (2017). His 2020 book, The Linguistics of Humor. An introduction, is written with a pedagogical aim (as claimed by the author in the Preface), for both students and scholars interested in humour but lacking the linguistic background.
