This book attempts to analyse irony, paradox, oxymoron,
overstatement, understatement, euphemism, and dysphemism from the
point of view of both Cognitive Linguistics and Pragmatics. In
order to do so, we have regarded each trope as a cognitive model,
and observed that the various ICMs that resulted from this approach
had in common an essential feature: they were all constructed
around the creation of contrasts. Also, we have developed a common
processing model for these ICMs, which shows that these so-called
figures of speech can be fully considered conceptual mechanisms of
meaning creation and derivation. Apart from determining which
specific pragmatic implications these models bring about and
studying their underlying cognitive operations, we have argued that
they should be described in terms of the contextual effects they
produce. Therefore, a new classification and definition of these
tropes is provided.
