摘要
脑筋急转弯,一种极具娱乐性的语言和思维游戏,设题巧妙,通过提问与答案的背离,产生无尽的幽默效果。一个成功的脑筋急转弯是对认知定势的巨大挑战,与背离度成正比。文章利用关联理论和图式理论,对不同类型的脑筋急转弯进行认知解读。
Conundrum,an entertaining game,creates variety of humor by deviation between questions and answers.A successful conundrum is a great challenge to traditional thinking,and increasing proportionately with the degree of the deviation.The paper attempts a new cognitive interpretation of different types of conundrums in the perspective of two cognitive theories:Relevance Theory and Schema Theory.
