Abstract:

Ironic language is a salient reminder that speakers of all languages do not
always mean what they say. While ironic language has captured the attention of
theorists and scholars for centuries, it is only since the 1980s that
psycholinguistic methods have been employed to investigate how readers and
hearers detect, process, and comprehend ironic language. This Element reviews
the foundational definitions, theories, and psycholinguistic models of ironic
language, covering key questions such as the distinction between literal and
ironic meaning, the role of contextual information during irony processing,
and the cognitive mechanisms involved. These key questions continue to
motivate new studies and methodological innovations, providing ample
opportunity for future researchers who wish to continue exploring how ironic
language is processed and understood.
