摘要：作为后现代主义重要流派的黑色幽默,在美国盛行于20世纪六、七十年代。库尔特·冯尼古特是黑色幽默小说的代表作家之一。黑色幽默技巧在他的短篇小说《汤姆·爱迪生的长毛狗》中体现得淋漓尽致，并充分揭示了人生是荒诞而无意义的消极主题。
本文首先介绍黑色幽默的含义、发展史及其在诸作家作品中的广泛运用。然后从三个角度分析黑色幽默在小说中的具体运用：变态情节、病态语言和荒诞形象。首先是变态情节，狗的高智商和人类的低能，这是最基本的黑色幽默体现；其次是病态语言，集中体现在小说中的多次对话都违反了对话原则中的合作原则和礼貌原则，从中黑色幽默主题得到更高层次的体现；最后是荒诞形象，布拉德和陌生人这两个荒诞的人物形象将小说中的黑色幽默推向高潮。论文最后总结作者借助这一系列的黑色幽默所要传达的主题思想。
通过以上研究，本文得出如下结论：该小说中的黑色幽默运用是一种有趣而又有效的技巧，
通过一些荒诞不合常理的滑稽表述，黑色幽默一方面既使作者澄清丰富了小说思想，另一方面又使读者能更全面更深入地理解作品内涵。
本文的目地是为了帮助读者了解什么是黑色幽默及其在该小说中的运用，为了帮助学生提高英语写作水平和英语文学欣赏水平。
