Abstract

There is a class of joke which consists of an anecdote, which is sometimes quite long and often has no inherently humorous content, followed by a final line which is a distorted form of some well-known phrase, proverb or quotation. Usually this final line purports to summarize or draw a moral from the preceding story. This genre has some unusual aspects, from the viewpoint of conventional claims about the attributes of jokes. These jokes also have certain structural or formal regularities, which suggest that it might be possible to define a computational model of their production. We outline how this might be done, by decomposing the construction of such story puns into a sequence of stages; some of these are clearly manageable, others are less straightforward. We also make some observations about where such an endeavor would fit within the broader field of humor research.

成为故事双关语的典范

有一类笑话是由一则轶事组成的，这些轶事有时很长，通常本身没有幽默的内容，最后一句是一些众所周知的短语、谚语或引语的扭曲形式。通常，这句最后的台词意在总结或从前面的故事中得出一个教训。这种类型有一些不同寻常的方面，从传统的观点来看，关于笑话的属性。这些笑话也有一定的结构或形式规律，这表明可能有可能定义一个计算模型的生产。我们将通过将这类故事双关语的构建分解为一系列阶段来概述如何做到这一点;其中一些显然是可控的，另一些则不那么简单。我们也做了一些观察，看看这样的努力是否适合更广泛的幽默研究领域。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
