The modern era we are living in is marked by a significantly rapid pace of globalization and pervasive diffusion of technological advancements. These synergistic forces have effectively eradicated geographical barriers and forged what van Dijk (1991) and Castells (1996) refer to as the 鈥渘etwork society,鈥� which metamorphoses disparate national entities into an intricately interconnected tapestry of societies and cultures (Castells, 2000). The nature of this global structure places new, urgent dem

In anthroponymy, humour occurs in
