Description

A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is usually not meant to be interpreted literally. It usually takes the form of a story, often with dialogue, and ends in a punch line, whereby the humorous element of the story is revealed; this can be done using a pun or other type of word play, irony or sarcasm, logical incompatibility, hyperbole, or other means. Linguist Robert Hetzron offers the definition:

A joke is a short humorous piece of oral literature in which the funniness culminates in the final sentence, called the punchline… In fact, the main condition is that the tension should reach its highest level at the very end. No continuation relieving the tension should be added. As for its being "oral," it is true that jokes may appear printed, but when further transferred, there is no obligation to reproduce the text verbatim, as in the case of poetry.

রসিকতা হলো কোন বক্তব্য, উচ্চারণ বা অঙ্গভঙ্গি যা মানুষের মনে হাস্য রসের সঞ্চার করে। যেমন একটি কৌতুক হচ্ছে রসবোধে পূর্ণ বর্ণনামূলক অভিব্যক্তি যেখানে নির্দিষ্ট এবং বিশেষায়িত ভংগিমায় শব্দগুলো উপস্থাপিত হয় যার ফলে মানুষ হাসে। এটি সংলাপ দিয়ে শুরু হয়ে গল্পের রূপ নেয়, পাঞ্চ লাইনে শেষ হয়। আর এই পাঞ্চ লাইন শুনেই শ্রোতা বুঝতে পারে যে উপস্থাপিত কথাগুলোর দ্বিতীয় কোন অর্থ আছে। এটা মূলত করা হয়ে থাকে শ্লেষালঙ্কার অথবা অন্যান্য শব্দ খেলা যেমন বিদ্রূপ ব্যবহার করে। ব্যঙ্গ আরেক ধরনের রসিকতা যার উদ্দেশ্য অবমাননাকরা।
