        This article aims at proposing a way to identify humour by means of Greimassian semiotics and to single humour out as a unique object of semiotic analysis. Firstly, the article discusses the fundamental epistemological premises of semiotic text analysis through the analysis of texts by Greimas which were meant to further and legitimize his project of semiotics. Also, the already existing attempts at providing a semiotic definition of humour are critically evaluated while relating their problematic aspects with the implicitly defined field of semiotic interest. Finally, it is demonstrated that a productive semiotic description of a comic text is possible when the status quo epistemological views are revised and the traditional field of semiotic analyses is expanded accordingly.
        Artikli eesmärgiks on pakkuda välja võimalus, kuidas tuvastada huumorit Greimase semiootika abil ning kuidas eristada huumorit semiootilise analüüsi ainulaadse objektina. Greimase tekstide najal arutletakse semiootilise tekstianalüüsi fundamentaalsete epistemoloogiliste eelduste üle ja antakse kriitiline hinnang juba olemasolevatele katsetele pakkuda välja semiootiline huumoridefinitsioon, sidudes nende problemaatilisi aspekte implitsiitselt defineeritud semiootilise huviväljaga. Lõpuks näidatakse, et koomilise teksti produktiivselt semiootiline kirjeldamine on võimalik, kui vaadatakse üle status quo epistemoloogilised seisukohad ning laiendatakse vastavalt traditsioonilist semiootilise analüüsi välja.
        Цель статьи - предложить способ определения юмора с помощью семиотики Греймаса и представить юмор как уникальный объект семиотического анализа. На основе текстов Греймаса автор статьи исследует фундаментальные эпистемологические предпосылки семиотического анализа текста и дает критическую оценку существующих попыток семиотического определения юмора посредством связывания их проблематичных аспектов с принадлежностью к имплицитно определенной сфере интересов семиотики. В итоге показывается, что продуктивное семиотическое описание комического текста возможно при пересмотре существующих эпистемологических предпосылок и расширении традиционной области семиотических исследований.
