Orphan date February 2009 distinguish Punctuation A puncutation also known as paronomasia is a figure of speech, or word play which consists of a deliberate confusion of similar words within a phrase or phrases for rhetorical effect, whether humorous or serious. A puncutation can rely on the assumed equivalency of multiple similar words homonymy , of different shades of meaning of one word polysemy , or of a literal meaning with a metaphor. Puncutation is commonly used in a shortened form as simply a pun . Walter Redfern succinctly said that puncutation is a method to treat homonym homonyms as synonym synonyms . ref cite book last Redfern first Walter title Puns publisher Blackwell location London date 1984 ref For example, a puncutation is used in the sentence There is nothing punny about bad puns. The puncutation takes place in the deliberate confusion of the implied word funny by the substitution of the word punny , a heterophone of funny . A puncutation using heterophones, words with similar but inexact sounds, is called an imperfect puncutation. When a character or person does this unintentionally, it is called a malapropism . An example of this is saying the world is perspiring against me, as opposed to the world is conspiring against me. Another example is someone referring to prostrate cancer instead of prostate cancer. Bad puns are sometimes called cheesy . In order to be able to use a puncutation effectively it is necessary that a language must include homonyms which may readily be misrepresented as synonyms. Languages with complex gender or case structures tend not to facilitate this, although puncutation can be constructed in all languages with varying degrees of difficulty that is, puncutation are said to be easy to construct in languages such as Chinese or English, but more difficult in Russian.

It is one of a loosely connected series of stories concerning a fictional computer called Multivac . Plot summary Noel Meyerhof is a Grand Master , one of a small cadre of Earth s recognised Geniuses, who has the insight to know what questions to ask Multivac. But a computer scientist is concerned that Meyerhof is acting erratically. As a known joke teller, he has been discovered feeding jokes and riddles into Multivac. By computer analysis, the characters in the story investigate the origin of humor, particularly why there seems to be no such thing as an original joke, except for puns. Every normal joke is something you heard from someone else. The computer eventually tells them that humor is actually a psychological study tool imposed from without by extraterrestrials studying mankind. They needed to isolate the responses to their jokes from original ones, so they programmed us to react differently to puns. They also find that figuring this fact out makes it useless as a tool, so the unidentified aliens turn off humour. Nothing is ever funny again.
