"Lena Straßburger's monograph [...] is indeed an original and most interesting monograph on an under-researched topic. Its argumentation is supported by an extensive and critical review of the relevant literature as well as on meticulously designed and executed experiments. [...] [T]he book remains a must-read and an inspiration for all those working on incongruity theories not only from a psycholinguistic and cognitive perspective, but also from a pragmatic and sociolinguistic one."
