How Words Work:5

Patterns of morphology have in fact been much more commonly the focus of classroom attention than patterns of syntax.

Norwegian Word Play (Part I of II)
I’ve heard it said that you don’t really know a language until you get the jokes. This is particularly true with Norwegian, where so many of the jokes rely on clever word play and puns. I see no reason, however, why you can’t learn language through the study of word play. Not only are jokes a fun way to approach language learning, they’re also chock-full of cultural information and can make great conversation starters (so long as you watch who you’re talking to).
