Translation of linguistic jokes is one of the most interesting moments of artistic translation.

Similar jokes often appear in different culture joke traditions. This fact may be caused by the development of the Internet where jokes become international after being translated. Big number of translated jokes existing in Russian tradition is caused by the rapid development of joke publishing in th, which led to the lack of jokes.

The choice of the best translation method has always been the most problematic task for translators. Corpus and Methodology In order to support such an approach a corpus of more than one thousand Russian and English linguistic jokes has been compiled. Then pairs of similar linguistic jokes were distinguished among them. A comparative analysis of similar jokes based on linguistic mechanisms is carried out in this article. Results Linguistic jokes — jokes based on linguistic mechanisms can be classified according to the semiotics principles, which are often divided into three branches: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their dentate, or meaning; 2 Syntactics: Relations among signs in formal structures; 3 Pragmatics: Relation between signs and the effects they have on the people who use them.
