Exploring the concept of "laughter-talk," this book delves into the intentions behind speakers' use of laughter-inducing language and the responses it elicits from listeners. Through extensive examples from language corpora, it analyzes the communicative functions of laughter in conversation, revealing how it shapes social interactions and conveys meaning beyond mere amusement.
