The use of co-textual irony markers in written discourse

Abstract: Authors of written texts may mark the use of verbal irony in a variety of ways. One possibility to do so is the use of so-called co-textual markers of irony (i.e., support strategies that open up a non-serious frame). This study aims to classify and categorize these co-textual irony markers. A content analysis of 2,042 co-textual utterances of irony across four text genres (advertisements, newspaper columns, book and film reviews, and letters to the editor) shows that three categories of support strategies cou… Show more

“…Likely, in order to avoid this personal bias, Burgers et al (2011Burgers et al ( , 2012Burgers et al ( , 2013) propose a discourse selection procedure, based on several interpretative steps: dividing discourse into units of analysis, determining that a unit is evaluative, constructing a scale of evaluation about the referent and placing on it the intended and literal evaluation, and deciding if the intended evaluation is relevant to the context and co-text (if it is, the clause is ironic). However, the model is premised on an assumption that ironic utterances are inherently evaluative (see also Partington 2006Partington , 2007.…”

“…We bespreken deze verschillende soorten co-tekstuele markeerders hieronder. Burgers et al (2013a) introduceren een aantal verbale co-tekstuele ironiemarkeerders. Een verbale co-tekstuele ironiemarkeerder die zij in hun onderzoek relatief vaak tegenkomen is het gebruik van meerdere ironische uitingen in één tekst.…”

“…Een verbale co-tekstuele ironiemarkeerder die zij in hun onderzoek relatief vaak tegenkomen is het gebruik van meerdere ironische uitingen in één tekst. Zo betogen Burgers et al (2013a) dat het voor ontvangers makkelijker zal zijn om een latere ironische uiting van een spreker als ironisch te percipiëren dan de eerste: de ontvanger is dan al in een ironische stemming.…”
