Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the grotesque as one of the representative subcategories of the comic having outmost plastic expressiveness and playing a form-destructive and transcendent function. The oxymoron is seen as a grotesque algorithm that cancels the conservative idea of absurdity as something unacceptable or impossible and highlights its harmonizing role. The implicature of the grotesque is analyzed from a pragmatic point of view, while the comeme is shown as a wide range of speech acts, dominated by the expressive provocative. Within the scope of the grotesque, the addressee is elevated to the role of a co-author.
