“…For example, Milner (1972) uses the "chiastic reversal" to describe puns such as Yesterday the dear old queen gave an audience to the queer old dean; it is not possible to determine whether such pun pertains to the syntagmatic category or to the chiastic one; -the fact that systematic taxonomies appear to be based on Indo-European languages. As a consequence, the different morphological typologies would make it necessary to re-write the classification criteria each time we e ncounter a different language.…”

“…Ce qui fait lire dans celuici, c'est essentiellement la perception d'une identite dans la difference, ou d'une difference dans l'identite (Milner 1972), en d'autres termes l'interaction imprevue, presentee comme fortuite, de deux registres distincts (Frangois et Francois 1967: 172;Paulhan 1897: 871;Olbrechts-Tyteca 1974: 65, 78-79); l'element de surprise, d'inattendu est naturellement un facteur important dans l'effet produit par le calembour (Guiraud 1976: 111). Le jeu, lui, consiste ä 'faire semblant' de prendre au pied de la lettre un mot ä double sens ou une locution figee (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 1977: 148); ainsi, selon Bergson, On obtient un effet comique quand on affecte d'entendre une expression au propre, alors qu'elle etait employee au figure ' (1981: 87-88).…”
