Annotation
The article examines the phenomenon of black humor within the framework of belles-letters medical discourse. Medical prose written by doctors describes the daily
routine of medical workers who often face illnesses and tragedies is shown that one of the means of moral relaxation for medical professionals is black humor. The various
functions performed by this phenomenon are analyzed. Lexical and grammatical ways of expressing the comic are considered, and means of fictional expressiveness are identified to create a certain emotional background upon the reader. On the one hand, appeal to medical terms in statements containing black humor contributes to the creation of a professional picture of the world of the author, on the other hand, it serves to form new fiction images by means of semantic transformation.
