The study of humor in western countries and China is completely different。 In China, humor studies concentrated on rhetoric。 Hu’s Linguistics of Humor （1987）and Tan’s Humor and Language Humor(1997) are the representatives。 Their works focus on the rhetorical structures and techniques of humor。 Then, humor studies concentrated on pragmatics。 Duan (2002) uses conservational maxims, politeness principle, discourse deixis, and pragmatic vagueness to study the humor in Chinese。 But at aboard, Pepicello in his work The Language of Riddles(1984) pointed out that humor was related to the ambiguity。 Raskin’s the Semantic Script of Humor (SSTH for short) (1985) is the semantic theory on verbal humor from the point of cognitive linguistics。 The aim of the SSHT is, “ideally, a linguistic theory of humor should determine and formulate the necessary and sufficient linguistic condition for the text to be funny” (Raskin, 1985:47)。

Humor is an utterance art based in every corner of life。 Response to the above, the thesis will take the situation comedy as a example to do more research on CP and its application of daily life。
