 Coleridge, Wordplay and Dream. Kennard 1997. ASD Journal Dreaming 7(2)
Wordplay, in the dual contexts of Freudian dream theory and poetic language, then represents more than just the play of quibbles, puns, and near-puns, while not being so broad a category as to be synonymous with all figurative language.
Garber claims that the language of dream, which relies upon wordplay, is "in Shakespeare the essential fabric of the dream state; it is the paradigm of transformation, and transformation is at the heart of dream" (8).
Two kinds of wordplay are distinguished: comic wordplay, in which the effect is almost entirely dependant on resemblance in sound, and a preferred serious type of play in which a resemblance or connection of ideas is quite deliberately and artificially doubled in language.

 Review: Transcendental Wordplay
Forging an idiom to sustain his undying voice was the culmination of Thoreau's "ascetic heroism against dirt, disease, and death." Viewing language as "the mode of man's immortality," Thoreau would re-create American English, extending its resonance with an extraordinary seasoning of etymological joking.
Joining Thoreau in the lineup are Emerson (the "gentle twists" in his prose were "not quite puns in themselves but akin to satiric wit"), Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, and Dickinson, with cameos by Poe as well as Irving, Cooper, and others.
Even more pages are dedicated to the minor philologist-pedagogues who flooded early-nineteenth century America with competing spellers, grammars, dictionaries, thesauri, joke books, lexicons, "synonymies," etymologies, and modest proposals to remake the mother tongue or invent a new one.
