摘要
The results of a study based on a corpus of 2000 printed jokes are presented. Four hypotheses, based on the Isotopy-Disjunction Model, were tested, and the results were found to conform with them. The hypotheses were: that referential jokes outnumber verbal jokes (puns); within the set of verbal jokes, those that are based on lexical ambiguity for the disjunctive function outnumber all the other categories of verbal jokes (that is, syntactic and alliterative disjunctive jokes); that the position of the disjunctor in the sentence is final, and it is the rheme of the sentence; within the set of verbal jokes, the jokes in which the disjunctor follows the connector outnumber the jokes in which disjunctor and connector coincide. © 1994, Walter de Gruyter.
