幽默是一种言语的艺术。它的产生一方面离不开语言本身的内在规律,另一方面在很大程度上有赖于语言在语境中的使用情况。幽默的产生和形成是说话者或作家故意违反Grice提出的“合作原则”的结果。对合作原则中一条或几条准则的有意违反,会造成主观意图与客观效果相悖逆,这正是造成幽默的一个重要原因。 Humor is a verbal art. On the one hand, it can not be separated from the intrinsic law of language itself, and on the other hand, it depends largely on the use of language in context. The generation and formation of humor is the result of a deliberate violation of the “principle of cooperation” proposed by Grice by a speaker or writer. The intentional violation of one or more of the criteria in the Cooperative Principle will result in a disobedience of subjective intentions and objective effects. This is an important reason for humor.
