Essay

This thesis focuses on specific properties of the compositional structure of English-American fables via revealing cognitive mechanisms of comic sense formation. The ways of comic sense organization are exposed through the conceptual analysis of the stylistic means of humour, satire, irony and sarcasm manifestation. Humour and satire are regarded as the components of the comic. Irony and sarcasm are considered to be dominant means of comic tonality realization. Рarabolic, analogical and paradoxical types of poetic thinking are the basis of creating the generalized image of a human being (grotesque, ambivalent, imperative, paradoxical).
