Kramer:
"So it struck me that Grice must have had something to say about humor, which turns on implicature, and, especially the flouting of maxims to create an implicature."
Salvatore Attardo, who was born in the Lombardy, has written on this. He now lives in the USA -- but he travels back home often!
He has written in ENGLISH about English humour, but I long for the day I can read Attardo express his views about ITALIAN humour, which is SO different!
Attardo's locus classicus, for me, is his contribution to "Legacy of Grice", where he opens the collection. Etc.
There ARE other Gricean authors on humour, but here's for Attardo!
