In our article, we present theoretical information and solutions for comparative analysis within the framework of cognitive-pragmatic features encountered in the process of translating humorous texts. To achieve an adequate translation, it is necessary to consider several important aspects. Although linguistics has long been studying wordplay, which forms the basis for creating jokes and humor, the translator should consider how to reflect various features of the source language, such as cognitive-pragmatic characteristics and existing styles, in the target text. Particular attention should be paid to these elements, especially if they are used to create a sense of humor.
