Processing Mechanism of Chinese Verbal Jokes: Evidence from ERP and Neural Oscillations

The cognitive processing mechanism of humor refers to how the system of neural circuitry and pathways in the brain deals with the incongruity in a humorous manner. The past research has revealed different stages and corresponding functional brain activities involved in humor-processing in terms of time and space dimensions, highlighting the effects of the time windows of about 400 ms, 600 ms, and 900 ms. However, much less is known about humor processing in light of the frequency dimension. A total of 36 Chinese participants were recruited in this experiment, with Chinese jokes, nonjokes, and nonsensical sentences used as the stimuli. The experimental results showed that there were significant differences among conditions in the P200 effect, which signified that the incongruity detection had already been integrated and perceived at about 200 ms, prior to the semantic integration at about 400 ms. This pre-processing is specific to Chinese verbal jokes due to the simultaneous involvement of both orthographic and phonologic parts in processing Chinese characters. The analysis on the frequency dimension indicated that beta’s power particularly reflected the characteristics of different stages in Chinese verbal humor processing. Jokes’ and nonsensical sentences’ relative power changes on the beta band ranked significantly higher than that of nonjokes at about 200 ms, which suggested the existence of more difficulties in meaning construction in pre-processing the incongruities. This indicated a continuity between the analysis of event related potential (ERP) components and neural oscillations and revealed the key role of the beta frequency band in Chinese verbal joke processing.     

从概念整合解读幽默言语的心理实现过程——以《燃情克里夫兰》中的幽默为例

幽默言语,往往言此而意彼,是一种特殊的语言交际形式,让人在回味和顿悟中领会幽默的奥秘,然后发出会心的笑声。幽默言语的解读过程不是一个简单的语言实现过程,而是一个复杂的心理理解过程。本文从概念整合的角度出发,从空间输入、空间对接、空间冲突、空间转接、空间合成、空间核实六大心理机制来阐释幽默言语的心理实现过程,由此认识到幽默言语的实现依赖于对空间冲突的正确解读。

英语幽默中的双关修辞

幽默作为各种文化及语言的中心部分,在人际交往中起着十分重要的作用。语言幽默与修辞手段密切相关,而双关则是重要的修辞手段之一。交际者利用双关,将某个词或短语的双层及多层含义巧妙地表达出来,从而产生诙谐生动的语言效果。有意识地关注该修辞手段,可以在很大程度上更好地提高英语幽默的理解能力和欣赏能力。     

Humor, laughter, and physical health: Methodological issues and research findings.

All published research examining effects of humor and laughter on physical health is reviewed. Potential causal mechanisms and methodological issues are discussed. Laboratory experiments have shown some effects of exposure to comedy on several components of immunity, although the findings are inconsistent and most of the studies have methodological problems. There is also some evidence of analgesic effect of exposure to comedy, although similar findings are obtained with negative emotions. Few significant correlations have been found between trait measures of humor and immunity, pain tolerance, or self-reported illness symptoms. There is also little evidence of stress-moderating effects of humor on physical health variables and no evidence of increased longevity with greater humor. More rigorous and theoretically informed research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn about possible health benefits of humor and laughter.
