| Summary: | The aim of this study is to understand and analyze the processes involved in the production of humour and new lexical units and verify the constitution and the witty functioning of the senses in entries that make up the book Le dictionnaire des mots qui n’existent pas (1992). To carry out this research, we consider Freud (1905), Possenti (2010), Bergson (2007) and Raskin (1944). So, we explore some questions which allowed us to understand how the lexicon, presented as a comic creativity, reveals an offensive reality. |
