	Pun : Paronomasia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A pun (also known as paronomasia) is a play on words that transposes the meanings of words with similar sounds.
		This is usually for humorous effect, although one well known pun of serious intent is found in the Bible: Matthew 16.18: "Thou art Peter [Greek Petros], and upon this rock [Greek petra] I will build my church.".
		It uses material from the wikipedia article Pun : Paronomasia.

		Thus, paronomasia differs from antanaclasis in that the latter is a play on words where the two words are identical to each other (such as two meanings in the following statement--"If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm"), while the former plays on similarities of sound between words.
		I like the combination of ananaclasis and paronomasia in Shakespeare's incomparable line from I Henry IV where Falstaff says to Prince Hal, "It is here apparent...that you are heir apparent." The here/heir is an example of paronomasia; the apparent/apparent is an example of antanaclasis.

		Sometimes these two words are referred to as synonyms, sometimes they are distinguished, and sometimes prosonomasia is equated with another word paronomasia, which no one says is synonymous with antonomasia.
		It is here that prosonomasia approaches and perhaps becomes paronomasia, so for my purposes it is probably better to confine prosonomasia to what has already been illustrated.
		I think we are on better grounds to differentiate prosonomasia and paronomasia by confining the former to "mocking nicknames" while the latter can include the entire world of puns, which we have not yet considered.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Firstly, there is a general view of the original text, showing all the complexities and the peculiarities of it, a story of Italian translations of Alice, and a presentation of the eight Italian translation I have examined (Bossi 1963, Giglio 1966, Galasso e Kemeni 1967, D'Amico 1971, Carano 1978, Graffi 1989, Bianchi 1990, Busi 1993).
		Secondly, I have examined from a linguistic point of view (Saussure, Jakobson, Lyons) the three of the main verbal play processes used in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, namely polysemy, omophony and paronomasia.
		These processes are also used in Italian, but they are peculiar of the English language, while Italian prefers other mechanisms to play with words.

		Paronomastic play consists of more than just paronomasia itself (close resemblance between two signifiers that suggests a punning relationship) in this definition; it also includes devices such as alliteration, consonance, assonance and rhyme.
		Alternatively, Patricia Adair argues that in calling the poem "a reverie" Coleridge probably meant "that the images and rhythm should be allowed to do their work at a partly subconscious, dream-like level;.
		To images and rhythm we should surely add the full range of paronomastic devices - rhyme, alliteration, assonance, consonance, and paronomasia itself, which are deployed so effectively in the poem.
