Irony Decoded
Irony Decoded offers a comprehensive exploration of irony, a powerful tool in communication, rhetoric, and cultural studies. The book investigates irony's historical roots, its diverse functions in contemporary language and media, and its broader cultural significance. It highlights how irony, far from being a mere stylistic device, shapes meaning, mediates social interactions, and drives cultural change. One intriguing fact is that the correct identification of irony is crucial to the maintenance of social harmony. The book traces irony's evolution from ancient rhetoric to modern literary theory, examining the contributions of key thinkers. It emphasizes that irony's effectiveness lies in creating a gap between surface appearance and underlying reality, prompting critical reflection. The book is structured in three parts, beginning with the core concepts of irony such as verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. It then delves into practical applications in literature, film, and everyday conversation before exploring the cultural implications of irony in shaping identity and fostering critical thinking.
Irony, Deception and Humour
Author: Marta Dynel
language: en
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
Release Date: 2018-03-19
This book offers fresh perspectives on untruthfulness entailed in various forms of irony, deception and humour, which have so far constituted independent foci of linguistic and philosophical investigation. These three distinct (albeit sometimes co-occurring) notions are brought together within a neo-Gricean framework and consistently discussed as representing overt or covert untruthfulness. The postulates that represent the interface between language philosophy and pragmatics are illustrated with scripted interactions culled from the series House, which help appreciate the complexities of the three concepts at hand. Apart from affording new insights into the nature of irony, deception and humour, this book critically examines previous literature on these notions, as well as relevant aspects of Grice's philosophy of language. Giving a state-of-the-art picture of untruthfulness, this publication will be of interest to both experienced and inexperienced researchers studying Grice’s philosophy, irony, deception and/or humour.
