Abstract

Humor, which is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon, a concept that relates not only to speech, but also to graphic and behavior children's spheres, is considered in modern humanitarian sciences: in sociology, philosophy, psychology, aesthetics and linguistics tick. Therefore, there are various theories of humor and their classifications. However, some comic questions still remain insufficiently studied and require their own cognitive understanding. The existing classifications of humor are characterized by a standard terminology, the basic concepts in these theories include the concepts comic and funny, humor and laughter and their relationship. Study of the social aspects of humor in modern society society (A.V. Dmitriev, A.A. Sychev, K. Glinka, A.N. Luk, Yu.B. Borev), philosophy and history of humor (I.V. Cherdantseva, S.D. Savov, V.M. Pivoev, L.V. Karasev), conditions and means of creating comic pleasure (S. Freud), psychology of humor (A.N. Luk), where humor is considered as a property of the human psyche, constitute ininterdisciplinary space for further development of theories of humor and comic, as “one of the most complex and diverse planned categories of aesthetics” (B. Dzemidok). The theory of humor by S. Attardo and V. Raskin, based on counter the production of two scripts corresponding to the text was a further step in humor research and outlined the perspectives of these studies. The presence of an unconscious component, the presence of a contradiction, inconsistencies, clashes of opposites, contrast (Geffding), paradoxicality, “violation of the usual compatibility "(I.V. Arnold), unjustified expectation (E. Kant), "failure symbolic communication" (A.G. Kozintsev), "explosion of thought" (M. Minsky), “short circuit of thought” (S. Freud) stand out as the main features of humor, its essential components. Linguistics has made a great contribution to the study of humor, focusing on semantic, semiotic, linguistic literary, textual, psycholinguistic and cognitive aspects. Using cognitive linguistics concepts such as schemes, frames, scenarios, cognitive models, allows us to explain thread deep mental processes of humor, its emergence during recognition of cognitive structures by the brain. Precisely cognitive human abilities allow us to perceive and create comic logical, based on memories, associations, perceptions meta-meanings, as evidenced by A. Clarke’s cognitive theory of humor, as a further development of the scientific direction in research humor, which was actively developed in the second half of the twentieth century linguistic theories of humor. Since the 60s of the twentieth century in America and Western Europe, widespread Linguistic theories of humor are being developed, including we can distinguish semiotic, semantic, linguistic literary and other research. American linguist Salvatore Attardo in the book “Linguistic Theories of Humor” presents composes the following classification of linguistic theories: temporary Western researchers: semiotic and textual, semantic, script-based, style theories. Semiotical and textual theories are united according to the principle of perception funny text in context, as well as in relation to literature different types of humor and its connection with literary phenomena [3].
