Throughout the history of linguistics, the prevailing assumption has been that the lexicon is an independent component of language, and that syntax operates on the lexicon. One characteristic of the lexicon across languages is that the types of lexical categories and subcategories differ from one language to another. For example, some languages have the category聽adjective, while others do not (Dixon, 1977, 1982); some languages have the category聽adjectiva

Computational methods employing corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and/or artificial intelligence have expanded our ability to empirically study figures such as humour, irony, and metaphor. Moreover, the growing number of digital spaces have afforded users with new mediums and affordances to deploy such figures. The result is a growing complexity in terms of methods and contexts for studying humour, irony, and other forms of figurative language. This special issue gathers original
