Frazeologiczne wykładniki humoru w tytułach współczesnych polskich komedii kryminalnych
Phraseological exponents of humour in the titles of contemporary Polish crime comedies

Summary/Abstract: The article contains the analysis of the usage of collocations in the titles of Polish contemporary crime comedies as a source of humour. Ways of exploiting the canonical forms of lexical units at the phraseological level were described and two main types of phraseological innovations were discerned and discussed: semantic and formal. The methodology used for description of the titles is primarily structural and amounts to determining what collocation was used or how it was modified, and why, as a result, it has a comic effect. The humour of the titles is discussed from a pragmatic perspective thereby leading to conclusions concerning mainly the persuasive and advertising function of the analyzed paratexts.
