【正文】 characters are subject not only to the systematic rules of the language itself but also to the general custom that the speaker faces. Humor expressed by linguistic methods is unalienable to the inherent principles of the language itself. Humor is subject to the linguistic context. One of the important methodologies of pragmatics is to study a specific expression in a specific context so as to examine the rule of using a language in a social context. As a guideline, Cooperative Principle, one of the fundamental theories of pragmatics, helps to examine the fundamental principles of pragmatics and humor. On the other hand, the mechanism of humor in the semantics, context, pragmatics and phoics is discussed, and the figures of speech, such as analogy, irony and pun in a humorous language are illustrated as well. Finally, humor in terms of logics, as the vocabulary of human wisdom, es from smart thinking, reasonable deduction and imaginative association. However, this kind of reasoning and deduction differs from scientific ones. A humorist thinks in a different logic, expressing his ideas in an innovative way. Humor employs the ic means of talking about serious issues in a humorous way, unveils the ridiculous pretence and suggests the nature of things. The audience are both enlightened and amused by ―decoding‖. To sum up, the kind of study illustrates the humorous language in terms of semantics, pragmatics, context, phoics, figures of speech and logics, so as to examine the mechanism of humorous language, and to understand further and appreciate humor. Literature Survey of Humor Research Scientific researches on humor can be traced back to Socrates of ancient Greek. Aristotle and Conte had some famous writings about humor. Aristotle wrote: ―Humor is undefinable like all psychological stages.‖ Conte claimed in his outright defeatist‘s position: ―We shall not aim at imprisoning the ic spirit within a definition‖ (cited from Bergson, 1928:3741). Bergson warned himself as well as others ―Giving definition to humor is humorous itself‖. This just came to be one of the difficulties 18 straddling humor research for centuries: humor will defy any definition and escape from any prison. Many books or articles on humor are not funny. Still another blow that humor dealt to its researchers is the terminological mess resulting from an abundance of such similar terms as humor, laughter, the ic, the ludicrous, the funny, joke or wit. While most authors, if they use more than one of these similar terms, try to distinguish between or among them, there is no terminological agreement among different researches, and one man‘s ―humor‖ may be another man‘s ―laughter‖, and so on and so forth. However, in spite of the seemingly unsurmountable difficulties, the glamour and attraction of humor has drawn more attention than it can help. It is impossible for us to determine when human beings first began to puzzle over the nature and functions of humor and when we will leave it alone。 it is also a challenge for anyone to e up with the exact number of researchers who have pondered over and made contributions to theories of humor. Furthermore, research findings have attested that studies on humor, at home and abroad, have always proven to be the intriguing halo over man‘s head and it is to be so, too. As a result of the longevity of humor research, piles of divergent approaches to theories of humor loom before us. The varied perspective that the researchers started from in the area of humor taxonomy also had their part in effecting the diversity of humor excavation. The failure to reach a consensus results from the fact that many of the humor researchers have developed explanations that are very effective in accounting for certain kinds or aspects of humor while disregarding others. As for parison or contrast between Chinese humor and English humor, research is rare. Freud, in 1905, stated that wit and humor are socially acceptable outlets for repressed sexual and aggressive desires. American linguists Pickering and Michael‘s (1983:270271) work The Humorous Side of Syntax studied humor systematically. In December 1974, Professor Jack Meathenia of the Southwest Texas State University proposed the idea of a society dedicated to the study of American humor in all its various aspects, including belles letters, popular ic papers, and various subliterary media, and circulated a draft constitution. In December 1975, a constitution was unanimously adopted, and the American Humor Studies Association 19 (AHSA) came into being. From 1975 to 1989, AHSA held a regular scholarly and bined business meeting at each annual MLA convention. Mounted Valise is a paper which explores the ways in which the humor of a radioedy is translated into literary humor (British style) by artists mainly through an examination of Sir Harry Sebe‘s autobiography, Arias and Raspberries (1989). This versatile member of Britain‘s longrunning and once enormously popular BBCradio programme, ―The Goon Show‖ is the focus of a parison which explores the similarities and gaps between the aural humor of the Fifties‘ broadcasts and the ostensible literary humor of his autobiographical work. The primary materials include some BBC tapes of the original ―Goon Show‖ which featured the voices and characterizations of Sebe (for examples, as Major Bloodknock, and Neddy Seagoon)。 then in addition to his autobiography there are to be surveyed other prose works of a humorous kind, such as Goon for Lunch (1975) and Goon Abroad (1982). In the United States, researches have covered topics ranging from characteristics of early American humor to ics, featuring Art Speigelman and Will Eisner—now recognized as important contributors to graphic art and humane letters (1978). The analysis of verbal humor is situated within a framewor
