Abstract


Pragmatics exists in people’s daily life all the time, and its importance can be seen in the fact that people use pragmatics to transmit information and convey emotions. Among them, two important components of pragmatics are conversation analysis and the principle of cooperation. Conversational structure analysis mainly includes turn-taking, neighbouring pairs, correction mechanism, etc.; the principle of cooperation mainly includes quantitative criterion, qualitative criterion, relevant criterion and modality criterion. The principles of conversational analysis and co-operation appear all the time in our daily lives and play a very important role in influencing our speech and communication with them.This paper takes the British long novel Pride and Prejudice and the TV series Family Guy as examples to show the wonderful use of pragmatics by analysing the characters’ character in Pride and Prejudice and the creation of humorous effects in Family Guy
