Language Games with Acronyms. The specificity and comical potential of backronyms Abbreviations, acronyms and other forms created by abbreviating a word or a phrase are more and more frequently present in the lexicons of various languages, which confirms the tendency to make means of expression more economical. They may also serve as a point of departure for language games of different types. An example is provided by backronyms, that is peculiar decodings of acronyms, often coloured with humour and irony. The aim of the article is to discuss the structure of those decodings and the comical mechanisms contained in such a method, frequently ironic, of decoding acronyms of this type.

Fenomen ambiwalencji przenika wszystkie wymiary egzystencji, języka i kultury. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie tego zjawiska w obszarze humoru, ironii oraz gry językowej. W tym celu omówiono genezę oraz najważniejsze możliwości definicyjne pojęcia ambiwalencji. W dalszej kolejności ukazano możliwości typizacji ambiwalencji w języku, by następnie przedstawić wzajemne zależności ambiwalencji oraz ironii i humoru. Założenia teoretyczne zilustrowano bogatym materiałem językowym w postaci tzw. definicji humorystycznych, które jako niekonwencjonalna podstawa materiałowa stanowią nieprzebrane źródło wieloznaczności oraz jej celowego poszukiwania i generowania w celu wywołania efektów humorystycznych.

Humour is an indispensable part of human life. It supports us in good and bad times because it has visible medical and psychological effects as well as influences our interactions with others. Jokes, which come in many forms, are its most representative and simplest types. For these reasons, among others, the aim of the article is to show and discuss the nature and kinds of language jokes and, above all, to describe various joke techniques which are the source of comical ambiguity and tension. The techniques presented, thoroughly examined and illustrated with numerous examples, are the most important or frequently used mechanisms for generating humour. The analysis identifies a wide range of possibilities for their construction. They also illustrate the humor indicators inherent in jokes such as ambiguity, deliberate or accidental misunderstandings, word mixes, verbalization of metaphors, incorrect word formation, accent changes, incorrect separation, multiple naming, representation by the opposite (antiphrase) as well as numerous modifications and decompositions.

Tongue-twisters, extremely strange structures, are examples of linguistic acrobatics and creative play with the language. Although they incorporate many comical forms and ideas and are characterized by structural diversity, they rarely become the subject of linguistic research. Many of them are based on repetitions of similarly sounding words or phrases; some are almost meaningless, which, however, does not distort their function but highlights their specificity. For these reasons, among others, the aim of the article is to show and discuss characteristic features of tongue-twisters, methods of creating them and mechanisms for generating comical effects. Tongue-twisters are examined in terms of their formal features (morphology and syntax) and semantic properties (puns, modifications, irony, unexpected content, etc.). The analysis confirms that there are no limits to their flexibility and creative potential. It identifies a wide range of possibilities for their construction and points out their inherent humour indicators even if many tongue-twisters resemble flat jokes.
