Sinossi

Joke Structure explores the science and art behind what makes jokes funny, dissecting the elements that lead to either laughter or silence. It examines how jokes frequently rely on incongruity resolution, where expectations are set up only to be surprisingly subverted. The book also highlights the importance of tension and release in comedic timing, demonstrating how a well-crafted setup builds anticipation for the punchline. Ultimately, it stresses the subjective nature of humor, influenced by cultural background, psychology, and personal experience.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework, drawing on linguistics, psychology, and sociology, to deconstructing the anatomy of a joke. It explores comedic devices like puns, irony, and satire, and delves into cultural context, ethical considerations, and practical applications.

 
A unique aspect of this guide is its integrated approach, combining theoretical analysis with practical guidance, making it valuable for comedians, writers, speakers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding and creating better jokes.

    We broke our new series on learning Vietnamese down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Vietnamese.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Vietnamese decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Vietnamese speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Vietnamese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Vietnamese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Vietnamese, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
