Annotation

This volume addressess the (theoretically) poorly studied referential figure of understatement, -despite of its notoriety and diffusion-, from philological, rhétorical and discourse pragmatic perspectives. It also handles negation in understatement, and the relationship with eurphemism, irony and hyperbole.
