The article is devoted to analysis of one of the most interesting stylistic devices — wordplay. It deals with novels written by one of the masters of contemporary literature Sir Terry Pratchett. We have investigated types of wordplays which he frequently used in his books. The results of our study suggest that wordplay represents the reflection of culture. To understand such a phenomenon as British humour, one should have an idea of British mass culture and literature.
