Abstract
This study has attempted to establish the possible classification of language plays, represented in jokes. The study is also intended to identify the most problematic cases of classification and the factors which cause this problem. In order to support such an approach a corpus of more than 500 puns in Russian jokes has been compiled. The taxonomy represented in the paper is based on semiotic principles and contains examples and statistics.
