The paper is an attempt to clarify the social background of the joke as well as its cultural role. After pointing out some of the main features of the phenomenon of humour the author proceed to define the joke as a cultural form and then compare it to the myth in terms of Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The consequent view of the joke as a semantic inversion of the myth is supported by the further analysis of several selected series of jokes being told in Poland.

The study provides an ethnographic probe into the lives of the members of the PCR test team during the pandemic of COVID-19. The aim is to show the use of humour as a communication strategy in times of crisis from the perspective of symbolic anthropology and ethnography of communication, especially theories of danger and joke. The approach of state health institutions have often failed to meet the needs of society, affecting patients’ access to information, the treatment of diseases or the identification of positive patients. Humour helped to prevent the conflicts, signalled forgiveness and influenced attitudes towards adherence to the rules. We focus on interpersonal and interactional aspects of communication, social identification of the respondents, as well as the influence of political culture. Coping strategies are followed through: (1) representations of dirt and the boundaries of the body, (2) the re-contextualization of the statements and acts, (3) the boundaries of the joke in relation to feelings of safety, and (4) the subversive effect of humour and flirtation in a time of the disciplining of bodies. The study demonstrates how laughter bridges the gap resulting from the conflicting informational inputs. The re-contextualisation of the teams’ motto: Corona does not exist! is interpreted in its socio-pragmatic dimension.

The study deals with German jokes from the point of view of cognitive semantics. After anchoring the research object in the given branch of linguistics and defining the language misunderstanding as one of the basic starting points of jokes, the article deals with categorization system, with the help of which the author tries to describe the jokes from her corpus. She explains the individual categories and the relevance of their consideration in the research. The last chapter consists of an in-depth study of two jokes, which are analysed according to the given categories. Based on this analysis, conclusions are made about this way of categorization and examination of German jokes. It has been shown which of the categories are the most relevant ones for a cognitive-semantic research as well as what their function is.
