Summary/Abstract: Linguistics of deep structures, methodological linguoconceptology, receptive aesthetics are of interest for the study of speech / non-verbal manipulation in the story by A. Chekhov „The Death of a Government Clerk“ as a double meaning - linguistic and textual. A structural study of Chekhov’s humor made it possible to establish the role of speech / non-speech manipulation as a source of metasense. The study of illocutionary influence, manipulation - forms of verbal / non-verbal exposure reveal in the metasense structure of the meta-observer. The concept of metasense in the story by A. Chekhov is based on the delimitation from semantic gaps. The semantic gaps are considered in the context of the reader’s interpretation, the metasense is a method of accurately translating the author’s thoughts. This approach is based on the study of speech / non-speech manipulation and irony as methods of illocutionary influence of the speaker on the listener. The connection of semantic spaces and metasense is shown in the role of a meta-observer - methods of reproducing the plot of changing Chervyakov, the image of death, the chain of indices, the author’s remarks, physiological gesture, transformation of the event into a non-event. This is how the genre unity of the joke and drama was established.
