Abstract

This paper examines INCONGRUITY as one of the linguistic mechanisms of texts bearing HUMOR. The main question is that what works these texts seems HUMORous. HUMOR has been studied from three different, but related, approaches: psychological, literarily and linguistic. The paper takes as two main factors generating HUMOR. First, the problem, the question and the literature review are mentioned. Then it refers to inconguity from structural and functional levels with regard to some HUMORous texts in Zakani’s Resale-e- Delgosha. On the structural level, it refers to words play (homonymy, homophony, homography, paronymy) and the kind of PUNNING andits in Persian rhetoric. On the functional level, it refers to AMBIGUITY/amphilboly and their functions. The results showed that INCONGRUITY in the form PUNNING as well as AMBIGUITY/amphilboly paves the way to make texts seem HUMORous.
