There are 3 types of the standard methods of the language game in the poetry of the author: making the ironic underlying message with the help of a special syntactic phrase construction; transformation of phraseological units by changing the grammatical structure of the unit; adding foreign words and expressions into a Russian text. The article also examines the syntactic organization of antitheses (including grammatical based on the language game with the word’ forms) and inserted structures, which show peculiar author comments about the things described in the poems; special attention is paid to the analysis of the usage of comparison constructions in the poet’s poems, they help the poet to organize the inter-textual connections which are usually difficult to understand for an unprepared reader, as the author relates to Ancient mythology, Slavic myths, Christian religion and historical realia, and sometimes in some cases the author makes a comic effect. The article shows the peculiarities of the functioning of transformed phraseological units (the following methods are shown: grammar transformation and contamination of 2 phraseological units), and also foreign borrowings and elements of macaronic poetry in the poetry of P.A. Vyasemskii which also helps to form the comic effect and makes special language contrast.
