Abstract
The article explores discursive and conceptual means of creating the defeated expectancy effect in English humorous discourse; it argues for using the term ‘paraprosdokian’ to refer to the discursive implementation of the defeated expectancy effect and investigates the discursive mechanism that paraprosdokian is based on. The research findings enable the author to make conclusions about the conceptual structure of paraprosdokian and its interaction with other tropes and extralinguistic information.
