From the History of the Study of the Language Means of the Comic in the Context of Literary Onomastics

В статье проанализированы работы, содержащие классификации приемов и средств создания комического. Определено, что в современном языкознании прослеживается тенденция не только не разделять искусственно речевой и ситуативный комизм, но при анализе его вербальных и изобразительных компонентов признавать примат первых в возникновении юмористического эффекта.У статті проаналізовано роботи, що містять класифікації прийомів і засобів створення комічного. Визначено, що основи класифікацій можуть бути різними, проте в сучасному мовознавстві простежується тенденція не тільки не розділяти штучно мовний та ситуативний комізм, але й під час аналізу його вербальних і образотворчих компонентів визнавати перевагу перших у виникненні гумористичного ефекту.The comic is a complex phenomenon since it is a universal aesthetic and at the same time it is a linguistic category. The comic as a linguistic phenomenon can be examined not only in a linguistic but also in aesthetic, sociological, literary, psychological contexts. The universal comic sense is evident in the case of its verbalization. Development of science also depends on development of its classifications, logical and semantic models. The article is devoted to the study of papers about the comic and about various comic contexts. The main philosophical idea and the premise of unity in approaches to the study of comic is the discrepancy of the objective properties of an object or phenomenon and a certain norms existing in the perceiving mind. The problem of representation theory in comic literary onomastics (or poetonymology) are introduced. The attempt to summarize and organize information is realized. The theoretical base of the study of the comic as an aesthetic, social and speech phenomenon is viewed. The historical aspect and current status of studying of the comic are covered. The comic in contexts with proper names should be studied in its broad representation in speech and descriptions in the literature. A tendency not to separate verbal and situational comic in modern linguistics is traced. The scientists analyze verbal and visual components of the humorous effect and they recognize the primary role of the first ones in causing of it. Thus, the conclusions of this paper have general and practical significance
