  Article:   A TYPOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE LINGUISTIC SOURCES OF HUMOUR IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN.

Authors:  CRISTINA TĂTARU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  In what follows, we shall try to demonstrate that many of the linguistic mechanisms of humour can be modelled as a consequence of the linguistic type, more specifically, that the linguistic type could influence the higher or the smaller degree of ambiguity of any utterance. The fundamental assumption of such an approach should be that humour appears as a consequence of the interplay of certain linguistic mechanisms, which are repeatable and formalizable.
