Abstract

Abstract. Humor is a universal aspect of human communication, yet it manifests uniquely across different cultures and languages. This article explores the textual and discursive aspects of jokes in the modern English communicative space. By analyzing their structural, linguistic, and contextual features, the study provides insights into how jokes function as both textual artifacts and dynamic discursive tools. The findings underline the socio-cultural significance of humor in English-speaking contexts, with examples drawn from digital media, stand-up comedy, and everyday interactions.
