“…Other cues that can facilitate the identification of irony are prosody ( Wang et al, 2006 ) and facial expression ( Akimoto et al, 2014 ). The acoustic parameters associated with prosody in irony are lower fundamental frequency (F0; Rockwell, 2001 ; Peters et al, 2016 ), changes in F0 ( Milosky and Ford, 1997 ; Cheang and Pell, 2009 ; Bryant, 2010 ; Li et al, 2013 ; Deliens et al, 2017 ; Rivière et al, 2018 ), greater intensity ( Rockwell, 2001 ; Li et al, 2013 ; Peters et al, 2016 ; Deliens et al, 2017 ), and slower speech rate ( Rockwell, 2001 ; Cheang and Pell, 2009 ; Bryant, 2010 ; Li et al, 2013 ; Peters et al, 2016 ; Voyer and Vu, 2016 ; Deliens et al, 2017 ). The facial information that supports ironic comprehension includes smiling, raised eyebrows, eye-rolling, winking, and squinting eyes ( Rockwell, 2001 ; Attardo et al, 2003 ; Caucci and Kreuz, 2012 ).…”
