Abstract:

This book adopts a broad cognitive-pragmatic perspective on irony which sees
ironic meaning as the result of complex inferential activity arising from
conflicting conceptual scenarios. This view of irony is the basis for an
analytically productive integrative account capable of bridging gaps among
disciplines and of recontextualizing and solving some controversies. Among the
topics covered in its pages, readers will find an overview of previous
linguistic and non-linguistic approaches. They will also find definitional and
taxonomic criteria, an exhaustive exploration of the elements of the ironic
act, and a study of their complex forms of interaction. The book also explores
the relationship between irony, banter and sarcasm, and it studies how irony
interacts with other figurative uses of language. Finally, the book spells out
the conditions for “felicitous” irony and re-interprets traditional ironic
types (e.g., Socratic, rhetoric, satiric, etc.), in the light of the unified
approach it proposes.
