Abstract:
The theory of humours (akhlat) is one of the fundamental pillars of the Unani System of Medicine (USM). The concept of health and disease depends on the quality (kaifiyat) and quantity (kammiyat) of humour (khilt). Health (sehat) lasts when humours remain in equilibrium and the main determinant of health is the balance in six essential factors (asbab-e-sittah zarooriya). These factors are highly modifiable and deviation in any of them leads to disequilibrium in humours either qualitatively or quantitatively which ultimately manifests in the form of the disease. Elimination (istifragh) of these morbid humours from the body becomes mandatory to treat the diseases or to restore health. One of the effective methods of elimination is purgation (ishal). It is a method by which morbid humours from the body are eliminated through the anal route. Before the elimination of any pathological humour especially in chronic diseases, it is mandatory to make the humour easily eliminable. This process of making the pathological humour eliminable is known as concoction (nuzj). The process of concoction is a regular and continuous process of the tabiyat (mediatrix naturae) of the body. In case of a minor deviation in humour, tabiyat itself eliminates it from the body after concoction. When the causative pathological humours are in abundance or grossly deviated from normalcy, tabiyat needs help from outside the body. This help of tabiyat can be done with some humour specific drugs which are known as concoctive medicines (munzij advia). Once, the humours become eliminable, the process of evacuation can be started. Classical Unani literature and published papers were explored to find the rationale of purgation therapy. Purgation is found to be advisable in the treatment of many chronic diseases. Tabiyat is the ultimate healer in the body and purgation helps it to overcome the diseases. Keywords: Istifragh; Munzij; Nuzj; Akhlat; Humours; Concoction

Abstract:
This research is conducted to study the phenomenon of humour pragmatically in TV talk shows. Though humour is found in daily conversation, most people ignore how it is working in the production. The concept of humour indicates both positive (non- aggressive) and negative (aggressive) affects which may unify or divide people, but it is more preferable to take positive humour into the consideration of this research to narrow down the topic. The objectives of this research are to analyze the maxims that are violated to create humor, to describe and explain the production of humour by examining the pragmatic structure of humorous transcripts, and to explain the functions of humor created through maxims violation expressed by speakers in TV talk shows. This research is conducted by using qualitative method. The data are in the form of utterances done by speakers. The data sources of this research are selected from the videos on You Tube Channel. After being collected, the data are analyzed based on three levels: the initiation of humour and its purpose, the pragmatic strategies of humour, and

Abstract:
Humour is one of the channels used in communication to express a concept or an idea. It can also be used to entertain people, such as in a TV show. This research focuses on the investigation of verbal perceptions of humour found in the transcription of the animated TV series Gravity Falls. Its purpose is to figure out what kinds of verbal humour can be found in the transcription of the animated television series Gravity Falls, as well as how the verbal humour in its transcription linguistically examined using the General Theory of Verbal Humour (GTVH). This study examined an episode of “Gravity Falls season 2: Not What He Seems” using a descriptive qualitative technique. The investigation discovered 29 linguistic humours in the research object, which were classified into 9 of the 12 types. The six Knowledge Resources in the General Theory of Verbal Humour (GTVH) are used to analyze the verbal humours previously discovered linguistically: Script Opposition (SO), Logical Mechanism (LM), Situation (SI), Target (TA), Narrative Strategy (NS), and Language (LA). To analyze the verbal humour, the analysis is done in a hierarchical order of the KRs.

Abstract:
Humour functions as a critic, satire, irony or propaganda. By using humour, it is posible to say the truth elegantly and sofly, without disturbing others’ feeling. In pragmatic comunication theory, humour is created from deviations of comunication principles, e.g: Grice principle of comunication and Leech principle of comunication. This research uses the jokes on the former leader of Libyan Mu’ammar al-Qaz\a>fi as the object material. Mu’ammar al-Qaz\a>fi was the leader of controversy as well as he was a dictator. Then, there are assumptions that the humours about al-Qaz\a>fi are not only about entertaiment but also about special aims. The researcher uses pragmatic analysis that covers Grice cooperative principle, Leech politeness principle and speech acts (illocutionary act). The results are that political humour in Libyan was a new kind of humour and it was developed while the revolution was on and in the aftermath. While Ilocutionart Acts, which are found in the humours about al-Qaz\a>fi, are irony, claiming, ordering, complaining, and satiring. The aims in the humours are satire and irony.

Abstract:
Human being has always been suffering from diseases. Before the beginning of Ṭibb (medicine) (300Bc), superstitions were considered as the cause of disease. Therefore, Gods and Goddesses were worshipped to cure disease and regain health. Since the existence of medicine, the material is considered a cause of disease. Accordingly, treatment shifted towards the material. In 500 BC Buqrat (Hippocrates) started the discussion of health. He established the views of structure, composition, properties and functions, health and disease in respect of the human body. So, the goal of Greek medicine is to protect health to the possible extent and cure disease. Hippocrates proposed the concept of AkhlāṭArbaa (four humours/four fluid) these are Khilṭ-i- Dam (sanguineous humour), Khilṭ-i-Balgham (phlegmatic humour), Khilṭ-i-Ṣafrā (choleric humour) and Khilṭ-i-Sawdāʼ (melancholic humour). He also proposed that the harmonious state of four humours is responsible for health. And, disharmony results in disease. Every humour is attributed to specific qualities, characteristics and some specific and general functions. But the main function of these Akhlāṭ (humours) is to provide nutrition and replenishment of every organ of the body according to their temperament. Choleric humour is synonymously called yellow bile or bilious humour. Yellow bile is one of the four humours, responsible for health and disease. In abnormal state yellow bile can produce a number of diseases called bilious diseases. In U.S.M. (Unani System of Medicine) bilious diseases are discussed under the heading of Sū-i-MizājMāddῑ (morbid temperament associated with substance). In this paper, a brief explanation of yellow bile along with it relates is given. Pathophysiology of bilious diseases is given in detail.

Abstract:
Studies often treat sense of humour as a unidimensional construct. Recently, however, four different humour styles have been hypothesized and validated by the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ). In the present two studies, first, the HSQ received cross‐cultural validation among French‐speaking Belgian students (94 high school and 87 college students). Second, apart from some similarities (Extraversion, low need for closure), the four humour styles were found to be differently related to personality. Social and self‐enhancing humour styles were positively related to Agreeableness, Openness, and self‐esteem, whereas hostile humour was negatively related to Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Self‐defeating humour was negatively related to Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, security in attachment, and self‐esteem. Finally, students' humour styles were neither direct nor indirect predictors of school performance, but self‐defeating and hostile humour styles were typical of students with low school motivation.

Abstract:
Chez Céline, le rire occupe indéniablement une place importante. Mais, il est loin d’être franc, en s’associant à l’élément a priori non-comique. Il se caractérise aussi par sa nature d’impliquer le moi dans l’objet à rire. Selon nous, l’humour seul est en mesure de désigner pertinemment ce rire ambivalent. Nous privilégions aussi la notion d’humeur noire (la mélancolie), corrélat de l’humour, qui forme l’envers de ce rire. L’analyse s’attache à élucider les éléments qui rendent le rire célinien sombre ou ambigu : l’identité masculine, le passé perdu, l’idéal déchiré, le pouvoir oppressant et la réalité hostile. Au cours de l’analyse, on découvre une tension quasi constante entre le désir de chanter la perte et la volonté de subvertir l’état négatif par le rire, deux façons éminentes chez Céline de se confronter à la réalité. L’étude vise ainsi à dégager l’humour en tant que mode à la fois d’autodéfense et de subversion qui permet à l’écrivain de survivre avec la part négative du réel
Indisputably, in Céline’s work, laughter plays a large part. But this laugh is far from being open because it runs with an a priori noncomic element. And one of its main characteristic is to make the self the laughing stock of it. The notion of humour is, according us, the only concept which seems relevant to name this ambivalent laugher. We also privilege the notion of humeur noire (melancholy) connected to humour, which form the other side of this laugh. The analysis is dedicated to elucidate the elements which make the celinian laugher dark or ambiguous : male identity, lost past, broken ideal, oppressive power and hostile reality. Along this work, we discover an almost constant tension between the desire to express his loss and the willingness to subvert the negative state of mind through laugher, two eminent celinian ways to face pain. The study aims at defining humour as both a self-defence and a subversion which allow the writer to survive on the negative side of reality

Abstract:
This thesis is a sociological examination of racist humour that uses a) linguistic models of humour to highlight how the mechanisms of humour work rhetorically, and b) the sociological theories of Zygmunt Bauman on the characteristics of order-building discourse in modernity and postmodernity. These ideas are applied to four specific modes or case studies of racist humour to show how it impacts on modem and postmodern discourse. In my first case study, embodied racist humour, a derivative of biological racism, is identified as a racism primarily aimed at black people in the US context, by expressing racist dichotomies and images of the removal of the black `other'. Second, culturally racist humour is shown to have a similar impact on racism aimed at British Asians. Third, the humour of black and Asian comics is examined as a key site of resistance to embodied and cultural racism, but one that is fraught with problems associated with the rearticulation of racism. Lastly, in the postmodern period, liquid racism is highlighted as an increasingly confused and diluted type. Throughout the thesis, racist humour is shown to have a series of interconnected roles in supporting the meaning systems of racism. Overall, the thesis provides a means of analysing racist humour, and in so doing moves sociological humour studies beyond accounts that fail to negotiate the particular semantic frame and functions of racist humour.

Abstract:
Cette recherche vise à déterminer si la création humoristique est influencée par des facteurs affectifs de la personnalité. Nous avons conjointement utilisé le test de frustation de Rosenzweig et des dessins humoristiques sans légende dont le thème principal est également la frustation du "héros". La consigne était de trouver des légendes aussi drôles et amusantes que possible pour les vingt et un dessins sélectionnés. Les légendes, cotées selon les critères d'agression du test, étaient ensuite comparées, pour chaque sujet, au profil d'agression du Rosenzweig. Cette étude, menée sur cinquante sujets a montré que les sujets extra-punitifs donnent en majorité des légendes ironiques. Les sujets intropunitifs et impunitifs privilégient les réponses humoristiques. Chaque sujet était préalablement soumis à un entretien sur le rire et l'humour, composé d'une dizaine de questions semi-ouvertes. Ces entretiens ont fait l'objet d'une étude clinique. Ils mettent à jour notamment l'importance du rire dans l'existence de chaque sujet, son image d'humoriste, son incidence sur sa participation aux dessins, le type de relation instaurée avec l'autre au travers du rire et les types de mécanismes de défense mis en jeu dans ces relations
The purpose of this study is to determine whether humoristic creation is influenced by somme affective data of personality. We both used the Rosezweig picture frustation study and some cartoons without caption, also based on the main "hero"'s frustation. Subjects were instructed to find some captions as funny and amusing as possible for the 21 selected cartoons. The captions were scored with the test's criteria of agression. Then, each subject's aptions were compared with his final scring of agression in the Rosenzweig's test. The comparison between the test and the cartoons showed that the extrapunitive subjects found more ironic captions. Intropunitive and impunitive subjects was previously interviewed on laugh and humor. A clinical investigation of these interviews was done. 50 subjects composed our sample : they were different in age, sex and social classes. It disclosed the importance of laugh in each subject's every day life, his self-evaluation of his humoristic abilities and its consequence on his participation to the cartoon, the kind of connections he put up with other people thaks to laugh and the kind of defense he set up in theses connections

Abstract:
The essay is a theoretical analysis on genre, based on André Breton's views on black humor. Breton is believed to be the person who is the mind behind the term "black humor", but his views on black humour have not – as far as I’m concerned – been applied in a film-scientific context. There is no cohesive view of the genre concept, as reflected in four selected genre theorists' texts that I selected. Texts that also have been published in various decades. The disposition for my essay is to begin by clarifying the definition of “black humour” by Breton and then highlight the key ideas of Leo Braudy, Thomas Schatz, Rick Altman and David Bordwell. In the end, I will try to interpret the ways in which black humor can be formed as a genre of its own. My conclusion is that there is no clear answer to how black can be formed as its own genre, but on the other hand there are a number of critical perspectives on the genre concept. Together, all theorists demonstrates complex relationships between ideological roots and present-day added significance. In the final discussion, I argue that there is a need to continue studying more about "black humor" by adding additional relevant dimensions and linking them to genre theory.

Abstract:
The sense of humour is a uniquely human skill and understanding humour is an important and rewarding part of social interaction. This thesis begins by discussing the definition of humour, followed by a review of the evidence we have that humour is an evolved and adaptive behaviour. Humour may play an important role in helping individuals to bond and signal cooperation, which may be further communicated by the humour style which is used to communicate. Research has also demonstrated that humour is an attractive quality in a mate, though the precise reasons for this are currently debated (Chapter 1). Empirical work in the first section of the thesis is consistent with evidence demonstrating that humour is attractive and sexually selected for. Chapter 2 tests the influence of modality and relationship context in an effort to further our understanding of why humour is attractive and provides evidence that more attractive people are rated as being funnier than less attractive people. Humour was also found to be more attractive for short-term relationships than long-term relationships, possibly due to the similarity between funniness and flirtatiousness. In Chapter 3, attractiveness ratings of vignettes in the style of personal advertisements, which contained either aggressive or affiliative humour, demonstrated the importance of humour style. An affiliative humour style was more attractive for long-term relationships whereas an aggressive humour style was more attractive for short-term relationships. Further testing provided evidence that humour styles were associated with personality traits which are highly relevant in a mating context, helping to explain the functions of different humour styles. The second section of the thesis examines the relationship between humour, cooperation, and dominance as an alternative explanation for the evolution of humour. Chapter 4 contains an extended introduction to the physical, verbal, and nonverbal cues to dominance and the sex differences that exist in expressive behaviours. Chapter 5 continues this theme and elaborates further on the function of humour in group situations, before providing empirical evidence of how humour is used in the context of a competitive ‘desert-island’ style conversation between same-sex dyads. Chapter 6 further expands on this line of research as empirical evidence presented in this chapter demonstrates that males may be using humour as a way of communicating the desire to cooperate with other males who are of a similar level of dominance. The communication of dominance is further examined in Chapter 7, where ethological evidence showed that males who were more physically dominant tended to knock doors with greater frequency than males who were less physically dominant. In the final chapter of the thesis (Chapter 8), the evolution of humour is discussed in light of the evidence presented in Chapters 2-7. The thesis presents evidence to suggest that humour production is an important skill for males for two reasons. Firstly, a good sense of humour is a highly attractive quality to females and may be a cue to genetic quality or good partner qualities, depending on the humour style used. Secondly, it may be important for males to use humour to signal cooperation to other males in order to form alliances. In females, the evidence presented in the thesis suggests that humour production may be a way for females to demonstrate romantic interest or flirtatiousness but the function of humour use between females remains largely inconclusive.

Abstract:
With the invention of photography and the camera, people have been given the possibility to immortalize moments in time that evoke incongruities in everyday life and document photographic jokes laughing in the face of death or ridiculing a certain class of people or race. Therefore, the camera has served as a means for different types of laughter not always with the subject as the humourist but the photographer himself. The aim of this work is to analyse how photographic humour works and its diachronic development throughout the years with particular focus on dark humour and how the latter is processed cognitively. Furthermore, this paper seeks to answer the questions of why some pictures make us laugh more than others and how has humour shifted according to the society and times we live in.

Abstract:
Humour as a pedagogical tool has been recommended for every grade level from preschool to university and for various subjects. The current study investigates English instructors and students understanding of the role of humour in English literature classes towards teaching and learning English as a foreign language at tertiary level. The participants included 4 English literature instructors and 12 student teachers from the department of languages and literature at Mkwawa University College of Education. The qualitative approach was employed using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and focus group discussions as data collection methods. The findings revealed that participants had a better understanding of the role of humour in English literature classes as a pedagogical tool to help learners understand the lesson content and learn English as a foreign language. Also, participants confirmed that learning English literature cannot be separated from learning English language as well as humorous materials are indispensable towards teaching and learning English literature. Moreover, the findings revealed that instructors sometimes had to code switch from English to Kiswahili to help learners understand the meaning of humour and connect to the content of the lesson. Based on these results, the study recommends that English literature instructors should use humour in their teaching to motivate students during the teaching and learning process; improves students’ ability to retain information more easily and for a long time; and helps learners avoid boredom, anxiety and stress when learning in English as foreign language. Finally, instructors are urged not to use code-switching frequently when practicing humour in English literature classes to help students build positive attitude towards English language and advance the knowledge of the language.

Abstract:
The article examines unofficial nicknames for Joe Biden, sitting president of the USA, in the light of political humour. All of the used nicknames express popular public opinion, highlighting the individual characteristics of the president and emphasizing his particular behavior. The common feature of the illustrated nickname is a mockery on the president constructed by adding vivid adjectives to his name.
