Abstract: The article investigates the nature and peculiarities of humorous discourse in Kazakh, Russian and English linguocultures. The purpose of the study is to identify the key features and specifics of humorous discourse through the analysis of jokes in Kazakh, Russian and English. The study of discourse within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm contributes to the consideration of humorous discourse not only as a linguistic phenomenon, but also as a sociocultural one reflecting the general and ethnic characteristics of communication. The research findings prove that humorous discourse is characterized by the following three distinctive features: the speakers’ refusal to apply a serious tone, the presence of a relaxed and friendly atmosphere of communication, as well as the existence of laughter behavior patterns.
