Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the linguistic aspect of satire and humor in the Rus-sian-language press of Kazakhstan. The authors of the article aim to comprehensively describe the means of creating satire and humor in the Russian-language press of Kazakhstan. The choice of comic discourse in the press of Kazakhstan as an object of study is not accidental. Research interest in considering the newspaper style, its pragmatic aspect, functional and genre specificity is caused to better understand the essence of a laughing man. In this regard, this article discusses a layered system for classifying the means of expressing satire and humor, the principles and methods of their analysis, which is explained by the complexity of the linguistic nature of the comic. The Russian-language press of Kazakhstan works under the conditions of interaction of different cultures, which reinforces the problem of adequately-authentic perception and awareness of the comic, as we are talking about recipients, which are different linguistic and cultural relations. And, as you know, in the process of translation there is certainly a metalanguage conditionality of the pragmatics of mental performative utterances. This means that studying the features of the language and style of the Russian-language press of Kazakhstan comprehensively, and, in particu-lar, the means of expressing satire and humor, the semantic interaction of the structure of a newspaper text with a comic orientation is not only of scientific interest, but also of practical value. Thanks to the reception of a continuous selection of central newspaper materials, content analysis, new facets of the language skills of Kazakhstani journalists were revealed, which natural events, using the construction of a certain system of phenomena, a system of words, could cause a comic effect.
