Abstract

Actually, Address forms play an essential role in the interpretation of the verbal humors. From the angle of pragmatics, address is also a speech act. Based on the speech act theory, the speech act of address in a contextual use of proper address forms is to express some feelings or achieve some goals. Therefore, this article is devoted specifically to the pragmatic analysis of verbal humors from the perspective of address forms.
