在RT和CIT互补的理论模式下浅析《老友记》中的幽默情景对话

在言语幽默的研究中，对幽默理解过程的探究始终占据重要地位。因为听话人对幽默很好的理解才是幽默这一特殊交际方式成功的关键。将Sperber＆Wilson提出的关联理论（RT）和Fauconnier等人提出的概念整合理论（CIT）相结合，利用二者的互补性，在一个新的理论框架下，对英语幽默话语进行认知语用方面的解读。并以美国情景喜剧《老友记》中言语幽默为分析实例，以期在RT和CIT互补的视角下，对言语幽默解读的心理机制做有益的探讨。

A Tentative Study on Verbal Humor in the American Sitcom "Friends"

In the study of verbal humor, the pursuit of studying the understanding mechanism has always played an important role, as the understanding process is the key of humor reading. The paper aims to interpret verbal humor from cognitive and pragmatic perspective under a new framework by combining relevance theory and conceptual integration theory because of the complementary nature of the two theories. The samples are selected from American sitcom ＂Friends＂ which is full of vivid humorous utterances. The author makes a tentative study under this new framework in the hope that it will be beneficial to humor study.
