%X Communication is a phenomenon characterized differently in each culture. The use of humour in communication is culturally bound and it can be very subjective. Thus, this paper examines the use of humour strategies in Intercultural Communication. Furthermore, Attardo (1994) and Taberski (1998) proposed a theory where humour encounters arise from the non-observance of the maxims in Grice’s Cooperative Principle. Hence, the humour strategies presented were also analysed according to this idea. A neo-Gricean approach was used for the analysis of the conversational maxims as it covers the main weak points of Grice’s theory and his Cooperative Principle.
