Abstract

In this paper we study the different processes used in the expression of humour in La Celestina and in some of the comedies of the «celestinesque» family. Humour depends on the situation in which the message is issued, including certain situations with evident sexual or eschatological references, or on the use of certain linguistic resources. The use of irony, jokes, the game with double meaning terms, the linguistic portrayal of characters by the way they speak, etc. Many of these mechanisms are already present in the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea and appear with different preferences and intensity of use in subsequent plays, at the same time that in some of them comic elements that were not present in the original Celestina are developed.
