Crosstalk is the art which could make one laugh, and it is our country's folk art treasure. It has more than 100 years' history until now. Crosstalk is also the art of language, and humor is the remarkable characteristic. The previous scholars concentrate to the crosstalk language's research in its "humorous" feature, including the language integrant parts and the pragmatic strategies of the crosstalk humor and so on. Crosstalk is a kind of folk art, so it has the realism tradition from the birth at the beginning, and it has reflected the different time's social reality profoundly. The crosstalk language is not only humorous; moreover, it includes a lot of cultural presupposition information, which reflect the Chinese national unique cultural phenomenon. The cultural presupposition is establishes above the presupposition theory, and the close relation between the language and the culture is an important basis that the cultural presupposition theory proposed. At present the research results of the Trans-Culture domain are quite rich in the academic circle, which mainly has discussed the cultural presupposition's function in the foreign language reading, and the translation process, but studies on the Chinese language materials' cultural presupposition is quite few. Regarding the identical cultural domain's person, the influence of the cultural presupposition is not easy to perceive, but it is indeed existent. It has the positive sense to the explanation and the creation of the crosstalk to research the cultural presupposition in the crosstalk language.This paper explains the cultural presupposition on the bases of the predecessor's research results. Grasping the massive crosstalk language materials, the paper attempts to investigate the existence forms of the cultural presupposition by dividing it into three categories from the word, the sentence, and the utterance in the text three different perspectives. And it makes the preliminary analysis to the characteristics and the functions of crosstalk cultural presupposition. The cultural presupposition is a kind of pragmatic presupposition, and it has felicity and mutual knowledge, that all the pragmatic presuppositions have altogether. In the crosstalk language, the cultural presupposition manifests the popularity and the contemporaneity characteristics. The cultural presupposition is the essential part of the crosstalk language, which mainly has the humor function, the satire function as well as the reappearance function of the folk custom, and the national psychological feature. The paper also investigates the generation and the appreciation of the cultural presupposition in crosstalk language based on the schema theory and the relevant theory in cognitive pragmatics perspective.This paper that based on theories of pragmatics, rhetoric and cognitive linguistics and so on, takes the cultural presupposition in the crosstalk language these concrete language materials as the object of study, which could make the study more targeted, and has more practical significance. The study launches from the perspective of the audience, including the forms that crosstalk cultural presupposition exist, as well as how these presuppositions play a role, and so on. The study also has some practical significance in crosstalk creation perspective. Firstly, various forms of cultural presupposition should be extensive used in the crosstalk works, which is helpful to reflect the national characteristics of crosstalk and heritage the national culture. Secondly, we should use the cultural presupposition to inherit the realism feature of traditional crosstalk, and realize the ironic effect of crosstalk in the subtle and tactful way. Thirdly, the cultural presupposition in the crosstalk language should be bound up with the characteristics of the times, and keep space with the times.As a quite new research subject, the study needs to discuss thoroughly in many aspects. We believe that the thorough and systematic study of this thesis should be helpful to rich theories of Chinese pragmatics and crosstalk language, and in the concrete practice it can play a guiding role.
