This article examines the linguo-pragmatic structure of humor in the languages under comparison. Special attention is given to the formation of humorous devices, their communicative functions, and the cultural-pragmatic factors shaping humorous expression in English, Russian, and Uzbek. The study analyses the structural-semantic elements of humor, its relationship with speech acts, and its role in achieving communicative goals through a linguo-pragmatic approach. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the functional nature of humor in multicultural communication.
