    Abstract

    We focus on a category of humour devices, at the meet of discourse analysis and of weak anticipation (in the form of a literary playful ascription of causality transgressing on the unavailability of the future). In Part I of the present paper I exemplified a goal-and-plan driven formal analysis of what makes humour tick, in a given literary text : Rosenzweig's century-old satire of life in America, whose name he mock-etymologizes by an apocriphal anecdote on Columbus.
