Moreover, Thomas Kuhn has suggested that what happens to someone who thinks through a thought experiment is very similar to what happens to a man, like Lavoisier, who must assimilate the result of a new unexpected experimental discovery (1964: 321). In this paper, I pinpoint the presumed commonalities. I identify, more specifically, what cognitive linguists call incongruity-resolution as the problem-solving process not only involved in humor comprehension, but in scientific discovery and thought experimentation as well&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
