Irony in Language and Thought assembles an interdisciplinary
collection of seminal empirical and theoretical papers on irony in
language and thought into one comprehensive book. A much-needed
resource in the area of figurative language, this volume centers on
a theme from cognitive science - that irony is a fundamental way of
thinking about the human experience. The editors lend perspective
in the form of opening and closing chapters, which enable readers
to see how such works have furthered the field, as well as to
inspire present and future scholars.
Featured articles focus on the following topics:
- theories of irony, addressing primarily comprehension of its
verbal form;
- context in irony comprehension;
- social functions of irony;
- the development of irony understanding; and
- situational irony.
Scholars and students in psychology, linguistics, philosophy,
literature, anthropology, artificial intelligence, art, and
communications will consider this book an excellent resource. It
serves as an ideal supplement in courses that present major ideas
in language and thought.
