EXPLORING THE LINGUACULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF LIMERICKS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE
Abstract
Limericks, with their whimsical language and playful humor, have long captivated readers with their unique blend of linguistic creativity and cultural commentary. Originating in Ireland, these five-line poems have become a beloved form of verse in English literature, celebrated for their rhythmic cadence, clever wordplay, and satirical wit. However, beyond their surface charm lies a rich tapestry of linguacultural significance, offering insights into both the linguistic features of the English language and the cultural contexts in which limericks emerge.
