The Little Book of PunsIngenious wordplay and groan-inducing quips【電子書籍】[ Alison Westwood ]

＜p＞Ingenious wordplay and groan-inducing quips＜/p＞ ＜p＞In today’s busy world, where text-speak seems to be the prevalent form of written English, and the average teenager can barely form a proper sentence without using the numbers '4' or '8' as substitutes for letters, is the pun becoming an endangered species?＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a society we have come to regard wordplay as old-fashioned, obvious humour, because it hinges simply on one word having multiple definitions, spellings or sound-a-likes. It may not be controversial, edgy or even topical, but it actually takes a great deal of skill, wit and general knowledge to come up with a decent pun ? not everyone can do it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Little Book of Puns explores the dying art of paronomasia and gives us a taste of the very best wordplay history has to offer. It harks back to the heady days when intelligence was measured at dinner parties rather than behind a school desk, when people still wrote letters instead of emails and actually read newspapers instead of checking out a website. This book may as well exist in anti?gravity, because you’ll find it almost impossible to put down!＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
