Abstract
Regarding joking as the central act, this article approaches humour from Speech Act Theory. The focus is on two interactive scenarios in the praxis of joking, expressed in ordinary language by means of such turns of phrase as ‘not to accept jokes’ and ‘to take something as a joke’. The deontic aspects of joking reveal its connection with societal forms of life. This is followed by an examination of hostile humorous acts (teasing, ridiculing), which have distinctive interactive features. This general framework is then applied to the study of discursive injustice, meaning who has the right or permission to joke and/or to take something as a joke.
