Abstract:

The volume provides original research and analyses of the multi-faceted
conceptual and verbal process(es) of irony. Key topics explored include
interdisciplinary perspectives and approaches to the study of irony.
Collectively, the papers examine irony from psychology, embodiment studies,
philosophy, cognitive linguistics, the connection and impact of irony on
culture and (media) communication, different approaches to verbal irony and
others—ultimately attempting to model the mechanisms underlying ironic forms
and the psycholinguistic motivations for their investigation. The
comprehensive treatment of these issues is fundamental for future research on
irony and related phenomena, particularly on questions of its usage, the
diversity and/or unity of irony and ultimately the interrelationships between
figurative thought and language.
