Abstract
The article provides a linguistic analysis of verbal humour in children’s literature. The paper focuses on studying phonetic techniques to create humorous effect. The research material includes the stories from N. Nosov’s book “Rat-tat-tat”. The researcher aims to identify the most frequent phonetic means, to describe their artistic and figurative peculiarities, to determine their functions in realization of the comical, to reveal their story-formative role. Relying on the analysis, the researcher for the first time identifies three aspects of humour realization in N. Nosov’s works: intonational and linguistic, situational (contextual) and communicative.
