Abstract

Intertextuality, although emerged in the field of literary criticism, attracts scholars’ much attention in discourse analysis in the field of linguistics. It has certain practical significance in analyzing law documents, advertisements, academic papers, news reports and other types of discourses. Humor, as a pervasive phenomenon in human society and an interdisciplinary research subject, has attracted scholars’ much attention from different fields. This paper aims to explore how intertextual resources are appropriately applied in humorous discourses. As intertextuality at the same time brings at least two contexts of each text, context theory will further help to analyze how intertextual relations in certain context lead to humorous effect.
