History and usage in humor
editI found the following two sources which appear to be useful to explain this word:
- Paronyms can be formed by addition or by subtraction.
- Source: Cooper, Lane (1922). An Aristotelian theory of comedy : with an adaptation of the Poetics, and a translation of the "Tractatus Coislinianus". New York : Harcourt, Brace. p. 233.
- Humor
- In Tractatus coislinianus, Aristotle classified the types of humor.
- Source: Attardo, Salvatore (1994). Linguistic Theories of Humor. Walter de Gruyter. p. 24. ISBN 978-3-11-014255-6.
I am not familar with the field of linguistics. Please help to further clarify if these should be added into the article. Comments welcome - DutchTreat (talk) 22:39, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
