Editorial: Multilingual Humour in Translation

Traveling and communicating in today’s globalised world have become much faster, easier and cheaper. Consequently, the chances of having people moving from one country to another have also increased. Although it very often happens that people move from developing countries to more affluent ones, it is also true that many people within wealthy communities may decide to live in another country for study or work-related purposes (cf. Dore 2018, 2019). Consequently, many of us nowadays live in societies that can be described as melting pots, in which people from different cultures often speak two or more languages. As a result, those who are part of these multilingual communities often use code-switching and code-mixing to express and assert their bi/multi-cultural identity (Monti 2016: 69).
