        abstract = {The title of this graduating paper is The Form and the Function of Humor in Mark
Twain?s Short Stories entitled The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
and Steamboat Race. The writer chooses to discuss humor because until now
humor is often assumed as a joke only without discussing about its complex forms
and functions. The writer chooses Mark Twain?s short stories because Mark
Twain is the prominent short story writer and his story stories contain the
variations of humors. The method of this research is qualitative method by
applying descriptive analysis. The objective of this study is to describe the form
and the function of humors in The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
and Steamboat Race short stories. The theory used in this research is
Psychoanalysis Theory presented by Sigmund Freud about the classification and
the function of humor. Based on that theory, there are two common forms of
humors and there are three common functions of humors. From the analysis, it
can be found that both of the short stories contain all forms of humors and all of
the functions mentioned by Freud. Nevertheless, the result of this research
concludes that there is actually no exact formula about the relation between the
form and the function of humor. It means that two similar forms of humors can
have the different function.}
