The basis for the article has become linguostylistic range of expression in comic texts, which are produced by intellectual wise-crackers – eminent linguists. Specific character of the joking linguist as a witty lingual personality is described within the limits of carnival tradition, which defined as constant carnival dialogue. Linguists act in the “mask of the comic”, demonstrating comic language game, the main principle of which is derivation from a norm. The basic means of creating expressiveness of the humorous text are implication, association, aim to perceive and interpret the comic element. Basic discursive traits of the creative Joking linguist have been singled out: excellent sense of humour, erudition, search of the new, creative approach, wit, developed thinking. Forms of linguistic humour have been considered. They are – etymological myths, scientific parodies, linguistic puns, comic memoires, jokes.
