== Related phenomena == Word play can enter common usage as [[neologism]]s. Word play is closely related to [[word game]]s; that is, games in which the point is manipulating words. See also [[language game]] for a linguist's variation. Word play can cause problems for translators: e.g., in the book [[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|''Winnie-the-Pooh'']] a character mistakes the word "issue" for the noise of a [[sneeze]], a resemblance which disappears when the word "issue" is translated into another language.
