Abstract

Humorous effect is an old topic and there are many theories trying to give an explanation on it. Relevance theory is one of them. There already have been some relevance theory studies on the humorous effect but the corpus is mainly Chinese or English and there are no enough studies on German. Therefore, this study aims to take a famous German comedy series as the case to find the humorous effect in German from the relevance theory perspective.
