Wordplay involving several linguistic codes represents an important modality of ludic language. It is attested in different epochs, communicative situations, genres, and contexts of use. The translation of wordplay, which is generally seen as a challenging enterprise, illustrates another dimension of crossing linguistic borders in wordplay. The third volume of the series The Dynamics of Wordplay unites contributions from different disciplines which study the creative and playful use of elements from different languages and the transfer of ludic language into other linguistic systems. It sheds light on the multi-dimensionality, special linguistic make-up, and specific interactive potential of wordplay at the interface of different languages and cultures. The individual studies collected in this volume will be of interest to scholars from different scientific fields, such as linguistics and literary studies as well as cultural and media studies.

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.
