    Open Access•A Fiadotava, Katalin Vargha et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Ethnographica Hungarica•2026•Referencias: 28

    Wordplay is one of the most recurrent techniques used to create humor, and it is often among the first forms of humor to appear as a reaction to disastrous events ( Kuipers 2002). In this article, we categorize wordplay in COVID-19 humor according to the type of wordplay that accounts for the humorous effect. The analysis reveals that most of the wordplay humor in memes and jokes is based on paronymy, homonymy, with its subtypes of homography and…
