A Cognitive Linguistic Approach to Joke Discourse

Main Article Content

Saida Hamdaoui

Abstract

The humor achieved by the joke constitutes a cognitive style, which allows us to trace this linguistic discourse according to what specialists in the field of cognitive humor linguistics have stated. We have chosen a group of jokes from the book Colors Without Coloring by the writer Mohamed Lakhdar Essaihi to demonstrate this mental openness to the perceived self on the one hand and the external world on the other hand, in order to invest the gains of cognitive linguistics in developing various literary discourses.
