  Power and Value  Female pronouns and ownership  Women often adopt the husband’s surname.  Feminine terms are more likely to change to negative meanings than masculine terms Gender and Language

  Humor is unconventional  It’s a violation of cultural norms  Humor is tied to a common culture and doesn’t translate easily  “Not getting it”- a person doesn’t understand a joke’s conventional/unconventional realities Humor
