格赖斯的合作原则是语用学的一条核心理论,在会话含义分析方面有很强的应用价值。幽默作为会话含义的一种表现形式,它的产生与发话者、受话者、话语信息都有着非常密切的关系,是发话者为了追求幽默效果而故意在话语信息的数量、质量、关系以及方式等方面做出的语用偏差,从而使得受话者在含义的推导过程中感受到话语的幽默性。所以,用合作原则来分析幽默话语的生成之因,不但可以挖掘出其内在的语用运作规律,而且也为幽默话语的建构提供了一种全新的理论范型。 Grice’s principle of cooperation is a core theory of pragmatics, which has strong application value in the analysis of the meaning of conversation. Humor, as a kind of expression of the meaning of conversation, has a very close relationship with the speaker, the receiver and the discourse information. It is the quantity, quality, relationship and way of the discourse information that the speaker intentionally uses in pursuit of humorous effect And other aspects of the pragmatic deviation made, so that the receiver in the process of deriving the meaning of the feeling of discourse humor. Therefore, using the principle of cooperation to analyze the genesis of humorous discourse not only excavated its inherent law of pragmatic operation, but also provided a brand new theoretical paradigm for the construction of humorous discourse.
