Abstract:

Although the figure of irony has enjoyed extensive attention through important
contributions to the diverse literatures addressing figurative thought and
language, it still remains relatively in the background compared to other
figures such as metaphor and metonymy. The present volume, together with a
2017 collection by Angeliki Athanasiadou and Herbert L. Colston, aims to the
further exploration of verbal and situational irony, its gestural
accompaniments, its comprehension and interpretation, its constructional
diversity and its cooperation with other figures such as metaphor and
hyperbole.

The present volume is a highly interesting collection of chapters dealing with
both theoretical investigations and descriptive applications of a central
figure pervading human thought and language. Its aim is to draw more attention
to irony’s diversity and its concomitant connections to other aspects of
figurativeness.
