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.
