Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of understanding verbal irony in cognitive pragmatics (relevance theory). According to Sperber and Wilson (1995), an ironic utterance is a second degree of interpretation of someone's thought or utterance; the speaker echoes an attributed opinion to express her attitude of disapproval or ridicule, while dissociating herself from it. In this paper, we will show that perceiving a given utterance as ironic depends on the listener's ability to catch and understand the speaker's intention, and that an echoic interpretation of an attributed thought, in relevance-theoretic terms, can be applied to more ironic utterances than Grice's account.
