| Abstract: | Everyone speaking at least one foreign language, besides his or her mother tongue, has been or is prone to be in a situation in which the following words apply: “I cannot translate this joke: it will only spoil the fun...”. This article aims to prove that humour is to be pondered upon as being cultural-information carrier, as it is endowed with the capacity to gather the very hidden and subtle meanings we can discover in language. |
| Key words: | translating humour, language, communication, specific cultural items |
| Language: | English |
