The book by the outstanding Russian linguist B.Borman studies the artistic, entertaining function of language, notably all possible varieties of play on language - verbal jokes, anecdotes, pun, mass poetic creativeness etc., including speech grimacing and foolery. The author lists rich material of the Russian classical and contemporary belles-lettres and folklore, followed by the most complete and popular (2000 words) Russian "Entymological Dictionary" - a list of facetious word definitions.
