Abstract
Contrary to common conviction, which treats pure nonsense and logic as a relation of incompatibility and incongruity, it is the relation of contiguity that appears to be fundamental for the principle of the paralogic of pure nonsense. Like in the poetry of nonsense also even nonsensical jokes or absurd situations appear to be peculiarly logical (i.e. paralogical). Studies of metaphor and panegyric seem to be this trope, which most closely leads to the goal which is a theory of literature view of pure nonsense.
