幽默和机智是一种复杂的认知、社会和语言现象，与文本理解、语用学和话语处理研究有关。我们首先将笑话和机智作为一种有用的描述性工具进行分类。接下来，我们通过对比序列-加工，不一致性-解决模型和另一种双加工模型，认为幽默加工可能以平行而不是连续的方式发生。随后，我们支持言语行为理论作为话语处理中考虑机智的理论框架。具体来说，我们认为需要像Allen（1983）这样的详细分析理论来阐明幽默和机智的语义和计算基础。我们对机智的社会功能进行了分类，并认为将机智视为实现社会和话语目标的计划将丰富我们的对话理论。
Humor and wit are complex cognitive, social, and linguistic phenomena that are relevant to research in text comprehension, pragmatics, and discourse processing. We begin by presenting a taxonomy of jokes and wit as a useful, descriptive tool. Next, we argue that humor processing may occur in a parallel rather than serial fashion by contrasting a serial‐processing, incongruity‐resolution model with an alternative dual‐processing model. We subsequently endorse a theory of speech acts as a theoretical framework for the consideration of wit in discourse processing. Specifically, we argue that detailed analytical theories such as Allen's (1983) are needed to clarify the semantic and computational foundations of humor and wit. We present a taxonomy of the social functions of wit and argue that the consideration of wit as a plan for the fulfillment of social and discourse goals will enrich our theories of conversation.
