What does wordplay -- in the broadest sense -- teach us about language, its functions, its characteristics, its structure, and how it works? Marina Yaguello investigates how language is used in word games and literature, and how this relates to linguistic theory. This book is an excellent and entertaining introduction to language for students and non-specialists.
