Annotation
This article explores the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) of Lati inu aka aka Biodun/ Kayode (LIABK), a lesser Nigerian gatekeeping radio news program, with the goal of stating the genre's phases where conversational humor curiously happens, and then it assays humor types in the data via the neo-Gricean mendacity notion and pragmatic act theory.
