Was zeigen uns Wortspiele über das Funktionieren von Sprache und Kommunikation? Wie groß sind die kreativen Freiräume, die im Wortspiel genutzt werden - und wo gibt es Regeln und Grenzen des Spiels? Sprachspielerinnen und -spieler der Gegenwart präsentieren in Texten und Interviews ihre Gedanken zum kunstvollen Umgang mit Sprache und zu grundlegenden Eigenschaften des Spiels mit Wörtern und Sprache. Beiträge aus Bereichen wie Literatur, Film, Kabarett und Poetry Slam werden ergänzt durch Kurzbeiträge aus der Wissenschaft, die unterschiedliche Perspektiven der Analyse von Wortspielen aufzeigen. Der Band greift damit theoretische Fragen auf, die in den anderen Bänden der Buchreihe The Dynamics of Wordplay erörtert werden. Im Rahmen der Brückenschläge zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis ergeben sich vielfältige Querverbindungen, und es zeigen sich übereinstimmende Beobachtungen wie auch sich wechselseitig ergänzende Perspektiven auf das Wortspiel in seiner Vielseitigkeit und Komplexität. What does wordplay teach us about the function of language and communication? What creative open spaces are used in wordplay, and what are the rules and limits that govern the game? The volume presents ideas of masters of wordplay from literature, film, cabaret, and poetry slams along with brief scientific analyses. The dialogue between theory and practice reveals the diverse complexity of language play.

Le maniement du langage manifeste un pouvoir créateur spécifique à l'être humain. Cette inventivité se révèle sous une forme concise dans les jeux des mots. En combinant de façon insolite sons, syllabes, structures syntaxiques et significations, les jeux de mots ouvrent un espace de virtuosité et de spéculation. Initiateurs de créativité, ils impliquent en même temps une dimension métalinguistique, sondant les frontières du dicible, les bornes entre sens et non-sens jusqu'à toucher à l'énigme, au grotesque, à la fantaisie verbale. Ils remanient des paradigmes, transforment les codes langagiers et discursifs et remettent en cause les sens préconstruits et les clichés socioculturels. Ce volume interdisciplinaire vise à éclairer l'interdépendance entre les jeux de mots et la notion de créativité. Il réunit des études qui, traversant les époques, explorent des genres et discours variés ; sont analysés la poésie des troubadours et les fatrasies médiévales, les inventions ludiques de Rabelais, les anagrammes chez Saussure, la littérature de jeunesse, les blagues et les devinettes, les pratiques scéniques et poétiques du slam, la créativité des enseignes commerciales et les techniques de l'Oulipo.

This debut volume establishes Steve Willard as a true original, an artist whose kinetic sense of wordplay is deft, smart, and unfailingly provocative. Intended to be read in repeated passes, these poems are Cubist in feel, multifaceted in syntax, and brilliant in coloration. By turns disjunctive, narrative, plaintive, and disruptive, Harm. makes use of a wide formal range in reaching toward its ambition, which is nothing short of reclaiming lost human potentiality from current norms. Syntax flexes and the world is refigured, observed as if through a different camera's open aperture, drawing the reader to a new and transformative interior landscape.
