The Basic Humor Process: A Cognitive-Shift Theory and the Case against Incongruity (Humor Research, No. 5)

Presents and defends a new theory of humor (theory L) covering all types of humor, and provides the foundations for a full account of the global (entire) phenomenon of humor. The theory might be said to have its roots in Arthur Koestler's theory of humor. The treatise presents and defends its thought, defines incongruity theory, the theory in opposition to theory L, and argues against it. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
