Abstract:Recently, the American series films about Garfield are increasingly popular across the world. This paper attempts to analyze the verbal humor in Garfield 2-A Tail of Two Kitties through the violation of Cooperative Principle to reveal that violating the four maxims may provide a relatively reasonable explanation towards the creation of humor. This thesis will take Garfield: a Tail of Two Kitties as an example and study the humor language in it from the perspective of the CP-violation. The study aims to find how humor effects occur in this film, and to improve interpersonal communication skills. Moreover, we can learn about the relation between mechanisms of the humor and the violation of the Cooperative Principle.

Key words: the Cooperative Principle, Violation, Humor

摘要:近些年，美国加菲猫系列电影风靡世界，受到越来越多人的欢迎。本论文在前人对幽默理论及合作原则研究的基础上，从违反合作原则四条准则的角度对美国喜剧电影《加菲猫2-双猫记》中的幽默语进行研究，试图探究这部电影中的幽默如何创造出来，并总结出我们在日常交际中应如何制造幽默效果，提高交际能力。希望本文可以提示人们幽默的产生机制与合作原则的违反的关系。通过提取电影中所有幽默语并基于语用学理论角度的解读，将语言交际与理论结合起来，有助于深刻理解幽默的产生机制，掌握最简单最普通的制造幽默的方式。
