Description of the research topic:
Although language play is one of our most basic abilities, it has received very little attention in linguistics. The research aims to uncover 1) how language play manifests itself in words and expressions; 2) how this phenomenon can be described within a cognitive linguistic framework; and 3) what functions does language play exhibit in language and communication.
