Die Menschen litten unter Wetterkatastrophen, die Ernten verdarben, Krankheiten breiteten sich aus. In Europe climatic conditions deteriorated during the small ice-age from 1500 until 1800. At the beginning of modern times people suffered by weather disasters, famines, plagues and wars. Alle führten diese Schicksalsschläge auf Magie und Schadenszauber zurück. Sie waren überzeugt: Everybody was convinced that these catastrophes only happened because of black magic and harmful spell: "Das kann nur das Werk des Teufels sein!" "This must be the devil's work!" Man suchte Sündenböcke – und man fand sie. Die Bevölkerung begann eine Hexenjagd gemäß den Worten der Bibel: "Die Zauberinnen sollst du nicht am Leben lassen!" In a search for scapegoats witch hunts took place according to the words of the bible Exodus 22.18: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”. Die Hexenverfolgung ging ihrem Höhepunkt entgegen. Da fand ein Pfarrer den Mut, öffentlich Folter und Hexenprozesse anzuprangern. Die Rede ist von Anton Praetorius. As the persecution of witches was getting worse, a pastor spoke out against torture and persecution of witches. The talk is of Anton Praetorius.

The two phenomena under scrutiny, K\SHUXQGHUVWDQGLQJ and PLVXQGHUVWDQGLQJ, categorize as responsive conversational turns as they connect to a previously made utterance. Whereas hyper-understanding revolves around a speaker’s ability to exploit potential weak spots in a previous speaker’s utterance by playfully echoing that utterance while simultaneously reversing the initially intended interpretation, misunderstanding involves a genuine misinterpretation of a previous utterance by a character in the fictional world. Both cases, however, hinge on the differentiation of viewpoints, yielding a layered discourse representation. A corpus study based on the British television series %ODFNDGGHU reveals which pivot elements can serve as a trigger for hyper- and misunderstanding. Common to all instances, it is argued, is a mechanism ofILJXUHJURXQG UHYHUVDO. Key words: interactional humor, hyper-understanding, misunderstanding, layering, mental spaces, figure-ground reversal 2 ,QWURGXFWLRQ Recent studies in pragmatics (see e.g. Attardo 2003) have shown a renewed interest in humor as a valuable topic of interdisciplinary research. More specifically, these studies have extended the traditional focus of humor research on jokes to include longer narrative texts (Attardo 2001a, Triezenberg 2004) and conversational data (Boxer and Cortés-Conde 1997, Hay 2001, Kotthoff 2003, Norrick 2003, Antonopoulou and Sifianou 2003, Archakis and Tsakona 2005). New data from conversation analysis, text linguistics and discourse psychology present significant challenges to linguistic humor theories like the General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo 1994, 2001a), and call for (sometimes major) revisions.

  • Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis”
    David Kramer “Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis” George Schwartz was thought to be one of the few untouched by the explosion of the Maine in the Havana Harbor. Schwartz said that he was fine. However, three weeks later in Key West, he began to complain of not being able to sleep. One of the four other survivors [in Key West] said of Schwartz, “Yes, sir, Schwartz is gone, and he knows it. I don’t know what’s the matter with him and he don’t know. But he’s hoisted his Blue Peter and is paying out his line.” After his removal to the Marine Hospital in Brooklyn, doctors said that Schwartz’s nervous system had been completely damaged when he was blown from the deck of the Maine. —from press reports in early April 1898, shortly before the United States officially declared War on Spain. n August 11th 1898 at a Central Park lawn party organized by the Women’s Patriotic Relief Association, 6,000 New Yorkers gathered to greet invalided sol- diers and sailors returningO from Cuba following America’s victory. Despite the men’s infirmities, each gave his autograph to those in attendance. A stirring letter was read from Richmond Hobson, the newly anointed hero of Santiago Bay. Each soldier and sailor received a facsimile lithograph copy of the letter as a souvenir.1 Twenty years later, the sight of crippled and psychologically traumatized soldiers returning from France would shake the ideals of Victorian England, and to a lesser degree, the United States.
