摘　　要：语义脚本理论认为一个笑话由两部分组成:起初部分和最后部分;一个笑话语篇的意义能够用一个脚本(或多个脚本的一个排列)来表征。这个笑话的起初部分通过具有两种可能的解释,并且这两种可能的解释都与笑话的这个起初部分相关联。然而,这两个可能解释中的其中一个会更明显,能够被读者/听者很自然地感知到,而另一个解释起先则不会受到注意。笑话的最后部分则以一种突然和令人吃惊的潜在方式使读者/听者注意到那个起先不为他们所注意到的另一个解释即实现言语幽默的成功解读。但语义脚本理论对言语幽默的解读也存在不足。Semantic Sript Theory holds that a joke consists of setup and punchline. A joke text can be represented by a script. The setup of the joke has two possible interpretations which are relevant to it. Of these two possibilities, the obvious one can be easily perceived by the hearer or reader whereas the obstruse one can＇ t. The punchline of the joke makes the hearer or reader realize the obstruse possibility initially unknown to them in a surprising and dornamant way, the final perception of verbal humor; However, there are some deficiencies in the interpretation of verbal humor in perspective of Semantic Sript Theory.
