..... The JAPE riddle generator created by Binsted and Ritchie; The neural account of what happens when a humorous stimulus is processed by a hearer or reader proposed by Katz. 4.2 Building on the Surprise Disambiguation and Two Stage Model Ritchie has done some interesting research as well. In [RIT99] he takes the incongruity resolution (IR) theory as the basis in order to propose some processing steps that might be necessary in order to interpret a joke. He analyses two variations on the IR model: the Surprise Disambiguation (SD) model and the two stage model of Suls [SUL72] The SD model ....
....of the understanding of humour to a set of subproblems. The model does not explain what makes certain incongruity funny and other just a misunderstanding. It offers a solution to how incongruity can be brought to the audience s attention.

Quoted in Attardo (1994) 4 It is commonly suggested that the e ect on the hearer of the suddenly revealed meaning is an attempt to resolve the apparent incongruity. See Attardo (1997) Ritchie (1999) for discussion of incongruity resolution approaches. Notice the similarity to the quest for coherence within poetic interpretation postulated in the quotation above from Hobbs. Even though these generalisations appear to be innocuously vague, Morreall points out (cited in footnote 1 to ....
