Dass die Realisierung in hohem Mae von unternehmenskulturellen Rahmenbedingungen abhangt, konnte anhand einer Reihe von authentischen Gesprachen belegt werden.

Although the authors in this volume approach this question from different perspectives, they share the profound belief that humorous data may provide a unique insight into the complex interplay of quantitative and qualitative aspects of meaning construction.
