Abstract :his study explores the mechanisms of verbal humour in contemporary Russian young adult literature through a corpus-based approach. It aims to determine how humour is embedded within the linguistic structure and to suggest a systematic methodology for its annotation. The analysis draws on a representative sample of Russian young adult fiction, A Diary of a Cat Sapiens by Tamara Kryukova, which is characterized by diverse semantic layers and cultural references. The methodology combines close reading with manual annotation, and corpus analysis using AntConc. The findings reveal that humour emerges from semantic shifts, stylistic incongruity, and allusions. The study concludes that annotated texts, enriched with linguistic and cultural commentary, serve as valuable resources for Russian language learners and translator training programs. It further recommends incorporating generative models to improve the annotation and analysis of humour.
