The article presents an analysis of various sources of comic effect in Kazakh and Tuvan literature. The research sources include works by contemporary Kazakh writers A. Artsishevsky and S. Muminov, as well as the Tuvan author V. Mongush. It has been established that the comic in Kazakh and Tuvan literature conveys the worldview as well as the moral and ethical orientation of literary works, facilitating the construction of literary characters by characterizing their speech and behavior in specific situations. The comic is manifested in one of its forms — satire or humor — depending on the degree of deviation from socially acceptable norms of behavior and thought. Satire constitutes the author’s severe disapproval of a character’s behavior or mode of thinking. Humor, by contrast, is the author’s good-natured ridicule of minor departures from social and moral norms. An analysis of the works shows that the comic is organized differently in Kazakh and Tuvan prose. Comedy may serve as the primary source of comic effect. Plot-driven comic elements may be depicted by writers as the main source of comic effect. Authors employ various linguistic means as a primary source of comic effect. However, the presence of one principal source in a work does not preclude the use of other sources of the comic. Comparative analysis demonstrates that the comic evolves from realism to postmodernism and is used to create a playful atmosphere.
