The production of verbal irony
How to be an ironist
Roger J. Kreuz | University of Memphis

Although verbal irony has been a topic of
interest for researchers studying language comprehension, the
production of irony is also of great interest, since it highlights
the situational, pragmatic, and even cultural factors that affect
language use. Issues of production and interpretation have, if
anything, become even more salient with the rise of email, texting,
and social media. Even though such mediums are conversationally
impoverished, new conventions and nonliteral markers have evolved to
allow verbal irony to both survive and flourish online. This chapter
will provide a review and an assessment of the current state of the
literature on these topics.
Keywords: irony, discourse, pragmatics, computer-mediated communication, sentiment analysis
