摘要:言语幽默是和我们的日常生活息息相关又富有智慧和艺术的一种语言现象。幽默本身就是一门哲学,它通过对逻辑性进行适当调控后对现实进行某种加工或者破坏而产生。
幽默产生的机制可以说是多种多样,它可以分为逻辑机制、心理机制、审美机制和文学机制。分析言语幽默是如何产生的可以让我们更好的运用幽默来提升话题的融洽度。本文从语言学的视角,特别是从违反合作原则的角度分析言语幽默的产生。合作原则是我们在谈话中遵循的一个原则。当说话人因为一些理由违反合作原则时,则会产生会话含义。幽默是会话含义的衍生品。
通过对《废柴联盟》中语言实例的分析发现,日常生活中人们往往通过违反合作原则的方式制造幽默,这可以使语言表达更生动、形象,吸引听者的注意力,会话更顺利地进行,并给人以愉悦的感觉。本文研究对于进一步揭示幽默的产生机制以及深入了解会话含义理论有意义。
