==Description== A bilingual pun involves a word from one language which has the same or similar meaning in another language's word. The word is often homophonic whether on purpose or by accident.<ref name="Nash">{{cite book |last1=Nash |first1=Walter |title=The Language of Humor |date=1985 |publisher=Routledge |location=New York, New York |isbn=978-0-582-29127-0 |page=145 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9t6sAgAAQBAJ&dq=bilingual+pun&pg=PA145 |access-date=29 October 2021}}</ref> Another feature of the bilingual pun is that the person does not always need to have the ability to speak both languages in order to understand the pun. The bilingual pun can also demonstrate common ground with a person who speaks another language.<ref name="Knospe">{{cite book |last1=Knospe |first1=Sebastian |last2=Onysko |first2=Alexander |last3=Goth |first3=Maik |title=Crossing Languages to Play with Words |date=26 September 2016 |publisher=De Gruyter |isbn=978-3110463095 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n-QsDQAAQBAJ&dq=bilingual+pun&pg=PT155 |access-date=29 October 2021}}</ref>
