XXXX大学本科生毕业论文（设计）文献综述

Literature Review This part is about literature analysis. O’ Henry is the pseudonym of William Sydney Porter. He is a famous writer of critical realism, and one of world's three short story masters. He has been hailed as the Manhattan critics crown prose writer and the father of modern American short story. His masterpieces include The Road of Destiny, The Four Million, Cabbages and Kings, some of them, such as The Gift of Magi, The Cop and the Anthem, The Last Leaf and so on win the international fame for him. His short stories expose the darkness of capitalism from different angles, describe the difficult life of lower class, praise their sincere friendships, love and desires to blessed life. He always writes a comedy ending to express deep social meanings, serious social realities. Furthermore, it points out the inevitability. Short story is a kind of the literature form. So, many studies of O’ Henry’s short stories are focus on literary views. There are angles of the study, such as, studies on the images in the stories, the humorous languages of the stories, the themes of human nature, features of the strategies of the short stories, the inclination to the naturalism, realism in his short stories, and the features of the art in his short stories and so on. This part is about cooperative principle. Since the proposal of the cooperative principle by Grice in 1967, it has achieved great development in depth and width and has been applied to many areas in the studies abroad. Following are the surveys of the cooperative principle used in literature abroad. Cooperative principle’s study of literature can be traced back to the 1970s. Professor Van Diji (1976) terms a novel, a poem, and a drama as a literary discourse. Patt (1977) maintains that a literature is a particular speech context which involves a specific set of conventions and exceptions concerning the relationship between the author and the audiences, the preparation and selection of texts, the application of Grice’s cooperative principle, which, she subsequently carries out to analyze some

Abstract in English

O? Henry is one of world's three short story masters. For a long time, readers like his short stories attributing to humorous conversations of the characters and especially good qualities of the low class people.
