Abstract:

The Pragmatics of Irony and Banter is the first book-length study analysing
irony and banter together. This approach, inherited from Geoffrey Leech’s
research, implies that the two notions are intrinsically related. In this
thought-provoking volume, the various contributors (linguists, stylisticians,
discourse analysts and literary scholars), while not necessarily agreeing on
every aspect of this theoretical premise, discuss and develop the idea. In
turn, they consider the workings of these two discursive practices in various
corpora (face-to-face or digitally-mediated interactions, novels, comedy
shows, etc.) thus providing a wealth of examples and case studies. This
well-balanced positioning helps the reader to develop a better understanding
of these complex discursive practices that play a crucial part in everyday
interaction. Steering a course between traditional perspectives and new
theoretical approaches, this innovative and exciting way of looking at irony
and banter will no doubt open new avenues for research.
