Aplicación de la Teoría de la cooperación de Grice y de la Teoría de Sperber y Wilson a 'Diálogo de sordos' de Carlo Manzoni

Abstract

The objective of this article is to illustrate how different discourse analysis theories can be applied to comic literary texts. In the first place; I will analyze the humor of Diálogo de sordos from the perspective of Henri Bergson in his essay La risa. Secondly; I will attempt to discover the comic device of Diálogo de sordos by applying H. Grice’s Theory of Cooperation as well as D. Sperber and D. Wilson’s contribution to this theory.
