Abstract:

This book challenges entrenched literary views that promote the impracticality
of linguistic, stylistic and functional approaches to the analysis and
translation of irony. It considers these scientific fields of enquiry as the
building blocks on which ironic devices in English and Arabic are grounded,
and according to which the appropriateness of the methods of translation in
the literature is assessed in a quest to pin down an interactive model for the
interpretation and translation of irony. 

The book ventures into contrastive linguistic and stylistic analyses of irony
in Arabic and English from literary, linguistic and discourse perspectives. It
sheds light on the interpretation and the linguistic realisation of irony in
Arabic and English through an interdisciplinary approach, and, consequently,
identifies similarities and discrepancies in the form and function of ironic
devices between these languages. As such, it will appeal to professional
translators, instructors and students of translation, as well as language
learners, language teachers and researchers in cross-cultural and
inter-pragmatic disciplines.
