UNIT 02 - READING 1 Puns
Puns create a double meaning by using words that either sound or look alike. They can also be made using words that have more than one meaning. Puns are often used to make people laugh, but they can make people think more deeply as well. Puns using words with multiple meanings are known as homographic puns. A good example can be found in the following riddle: What is the difference between a conductor and a teacher? The answer is "A conductor minds a train, but a teacher trains a mind." In this case, two words each have two different meanings. "Mind," as a verb, can mean "to watch over." But as a noun, it means "brain." And the word "train" can refer to a mode of transportation or the act of teaching. Homophonic puns, on the other hand, use two words that sound alike but have different meanings. For example, a sign in a pizza restaurant might read: Seven days without pizza makes one weak. Here, the pun is made with the word "weak," as it sounds the same as the word "week." Seven days do indeed make one week, while not eating pizza can make a person weak. Or at least that is what the restaurant owner wants you to believe. But puns have also been used in some of the greatest literature in the English language. In Romeo and Juliet, for example, Shakespeare wrote, "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." This line is spoken by Mercutio after he has just been stabbed. While the word "grave" can mean "serious," here it also suggests that he will be dead soon. This example clearly shows that puns, although they are often simply jokes, can also be used to make writing more powerful.
