Rezensionen
"The present volume constitutes a comprehensive account of failed humor and its relation to miscommunication in general. lt goes into significant detail and is provided with excellent conversational extracts as illustrations. [...] 1 find this book not only extremely instructive, clear, and convincing, but also entertaining, with a number of well-chosen examples illustrating the account. lt is highly recommendable by giving new insights into an area that is very little explored."
