ABSTRACT

Jokestega methodology. Section 10.3 demonstrates implementation of Jokestega. Finally, Section 10.4 concludes the chapter.

A joke is a fabricated short story or expression with a humorous twist [28,140,162-166]. Jokes can be in many different forms, e.g., short stories or questions and answers. Jokes may employ mockery, sarcasm, or wordplay, and they are different than either regular slang linguistics or classic linguistics. As a result, when jokes are represented in text the structural linguistics of a particular language won’t be obeyed, yet textual jokes are still recognized as legitimate text because jokes have their own linguistics. e purpose of using jokes is to entertain friends, relatives, colleagues, or an audience. e expected response is laughter, but if this does not occur the jokester has a fallen-flat or bombed. Jokes are part of human culture and can be traced back to the ancient civilizations.
