    Title   Pragmatic Analysis of English Humor                
    Abstract
    English jokes are humorous and implicit. However, for people whose mother language is not English, it’s hard to completely understand English humor. This paper presents a pragmatic analysis of English humor in order to help the reader get a better understanding of English humor. Some examples of English humor are analyzed in relation to cooperative principle, deixis, relevance theory, speech act theory, and presupposition.

    1 Introduction:
    Humorous language is a very common linguistic phenomenon in our daily life, which usually refers to those uncoordinated, ridiculous and amusing words. It’s easy for us to understand Chinese humor stories, but when it comes to English ones, we may find it difficulty to understand some of them. Therefore, in order to enjoy English humor more, we have to learn how English humor amuses and how pragmatic knowledge is used in it. In this paper, I will analyze English humor by using five pragmatic theories: cooperative principle, deixis, relevance theory, speech act theory, and presupposition. We will take some short and easy English humor stories as examples and analyze them with the theories listed above.
    2 Pragmatic Theories
    English humor has been studied by many scholars from different aspects for many years, and among them the pragmatic analysis is of high popularity. Those predecessors almost use three categories of theories in their analysis overall: cooperative principle, relevance theory, and speech act theory. However, these are not all the pragmatic theories that we can use to analyze English humor. We can also study English humor from other important aspects such as deixis and presupposition.
    2.1 The Cooperative Principle
    A basic underlying assumption we make when we speak to one another is that we are trying to cooperate with one another to construct meaningful conversations. This assumption is known as the Cooperative Principle. As stated in H. P. Grice’s Logic and Conversation (1975). English humor is produced as a result of violation of cooperative principle (He Ziran, 1995: 23-27).
