幽默语言是人际交流的一种有效方式。因为幽默被广泛用于我们的日常交际中,它必然会反映一些语言方面的特性。早期对幽默的研究主要集中在哲学与文学方面,20世纪 80年代后随着语用学的崛起,幽默成为语用学家关注的对象。 幽默语言在情景喜剧中起着举足轻重的作用。《好汉两个半》是美国最著名的情景喜剧之一,它曾在美国获最杰出成就奖。它丰富的幽默对话为本文语用学分析提供了实例。 本论文的目的是通过利用语用学理论框架解释幽默机制的产生。本文从合作原则对《好汉两个半》中大量的言语幽默进行分析,采取定性的研究方法,随机从《好汉两个半》中抽取了 12集,对合作原则的违反情况做了定量分析,以其中的言语幽默现象作为分析语料对其进行定性分析,详细列举了英语幽默中所运用的各种故意违反原则的修辞手段如:反语、暗喻、夸张、双关、委婉语等以及其他一些语言手段,结果显示通过违反合作原则及其准则而得出的会话含义是英语幽默产生的重要来源,通过礼貌原则的刻意违反也是产生幽默的主要途径。 此研究丰富和发展了情景喜剧中言语幽默创作的相关理论,同时有利于提高英语学习者对美国情景喜剧的理解和对英语幽默的兴趣,对英语的教学工作提供帮助。59585

The sitcom Two and a Half men was very famous in America and has been regarded as an outstanding achievement for comedy in US.

The author analyzes the numerous examples of humorous utterance through the theory of Cooperative Principle. From the perspective of methodology, the author employs qualitative analysis. The author  first selected the humorous utterances in 12 episodes randomly form sitcom Two and a Half Men as data resources and then classify them into theories. The qualitative analysis is used in respects of the analyzing and  illustrating in details.
