"The volume
Multiple Perspectives on Language Play
is an invaluable asset for researchers and students who are interested in linguistic playfulness, humour, and creativity. All fourteen contributions successfully manage to provide the reader with a multi- and interdisciplinary scope on the phenomena examined [...] Overall, this edited volume is a significant contribution to the relevant literature and highly recommended."
Rania Karachaliou in: European Journal of Humour Research 6/4 (2018), 151-154
"This particular book is definitely an inspiration for further research and hence highly recommended to researchers interested in the wide area of language play, linguistic creativity, and humor, especially if they work in pragmatics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and L2 learning and teaching."
