关键词:幽默语用模糊乖讹论incongruity theory
摘要:根据乖讹论,幽默产生于当人们突然意识到期待与现实的差距时。语用模糊本身内在包含有不和谐因素。因此通过对语料的分析,我们可以探究语用模糊与幽默之间的内在联系。

Chapter Five Conclusion
5.1Major Findings of the Research
In this thesis, 20 humorous texts selected from the sitcom Friends are analyzedfrom the following four perspectives: (1) pragmatic multivalene and humor; (2)pragmatic bivalence/plurivalence and humor; (3) conditional bivalent illocutionary actand humor; (4) discoursal ambivalence and humor. Through the qualitative analysesof the texts, we can safely come to the conclusion that on some occasions pragmaticambivalence where incongruity is inherently contained or created can generate humor.Considering the fact that pragmatic ambivalence is the indefinite or indirectexpressions speakers use in particular context in order to convey certain illocutionaryacts or meanings at the same time (Thomas, 1995), and that humor occurs when theincongruity between the expectation and the reality is perceived, it is not difficult tofind that pragmatic ambivalence has the potential to give rise to humor.Through the close examination of the humorous utterances where pragmaticambivalence is used, we find that pragmatic ambivalence was inherently incongruousor it helps to create incongruity. In this thesis, incongruities can take on the followinglooks: the illocutionary forces conveyed by the pragmatic ambivalence areincongruous; the underlying intention of the utterance where pragmatic ambivalenceexists is incongruous with the background knowledge; the illocutionary forces aredifferent from what we have expected, etc.
5.2Significance of the Research
The current research has conducted a detailed study into the generativemechanism of verbal humor from a new perspective. In fact, there are many researchpapers aiming at disclosing how humor is generated based on pragmatic theories, suchas Speech Act theory, Cooperation Principle and Relevance theory. Besides, manypostgraduates and scholars set their sights on vague theories, attributing verbal humorto the vague terms or sentences employed in humorous sentences. However, noattempts have been made to reveal the underlying relations between verbal humor andpragmatic ambivalence. Although some papers are dedicated to explaining humorfrom the perspective of pragmatic vagueness, they simply study humor in a static way,focusing on the vague meanings conveyed by the use of certain words or phrases. Infact, the so-called “pragmatic vagueness” occurred in those papers is more of asemantic concept than a pragmatic one. Thus, this current research is of boththeoretical and practical significance. First and foremost, pragmatic ambivalence isused to conduct a detailed analysis of humorous utterances in Friends so as to revealthe correlation between humor and pragmatic ambivalence. However, previous studieson humor haven’t made such attempts. Secondly, it would help people to understandand appreciate humor utterances more easily.
5.3Limitations and Suggestions for Further Studies
This thesis intends to disclose the internal relations between verbal humor andpragmatic ambivalence. However because of limited t本论文由英语论文网提供整理,提供论文代写,英语论文代写,代写论文,代写英语论文,代写留学生论文,代写英文论文,留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
