In connection with the prevailing trends of anthropocentrism in modern science, the importance of the problem of idiostyle increases in focusing on increasingly complex phenomena in human psychology and its aesthetic and philosophical cognition. Irony is one of the most important stylistic components that emphasize the individuality of the artist. One of the most effectively used critical and evaluative artistic means in the satirical and humorous stories of the outstanding Kazakh humorist Ospankhan Aubakirov is irony. The article deals with the implementation of irony in the works of the writer as an important tool in the aesthetic and artistic system of satirical works. Types of author's irony and irony from the character in humorous stories of the writer are proved by concrete examples. The author analyzes the nature and features of ironic statements conveyed by the author and characters in works of art. The author also examines the manifestations of irony at the plot level in some of the author's stories, as well as the peculiarities of linguistic and textual types of ironic meaning.
