Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Collocations—words that naturally appear together—play a significant role in enhancing humor and wit in writing. Often used for fluency and clarity, collocations can also be creatively manipulated to produce humor through irony, contrast, and unexpected pairings. This article explores how collocations contribute to humor, with specific examples from famous literary works, and explains how they create comedic effects. Understanding these language pairings can help writers use collocations effectively to enhance humor in their writing.
