Resumen

Desde el punto de vista de la lingüística, se han realizado estudios del humor desde perspectivas muy diversas. En el presente artículo se incluye una reflexión de las teorías más influyentes, con objeto de establecer entre ellas sinergias y convergencia. Se recurre, de forma concreta, al espacio actual del discurso (Langacker, 2001) como el marco general en el que confluyen dichas teorías, junto con la Teoría de Integración Conceptual de Fauconnier y Turner (2003). Se esbozan diversas teorías (Raskin, 1985; Attardo, 1994; Coulson, 2005b; Veale, 2015, etc.), además de proceder a un análisis de las coincidencias que existen entre ellas, de cara a demostrar que se pueden conjugar con el espacio actual del discurso como telón de fondo.
