Abstract

Authors of written texts may mark the use of verbal irony in a variety of ways. One possibility for doing 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 could be identified: other ironic utterances, tropes and mood markers. The use of irony support strategies was positively related to the genre of newspaper columns: columns used more ironic utterances and tropes as irony support strategies than the other genres in the corpus.

同文反讽标记在书面语篇中的使用

书面文本的作者可能会以各种方式标记言语反讽的使用。这样做的一种可能性是使用所谓的讽刺的共同文本标记(即，打开非严肃框架的支持策略)。本研究旨在对这些同文反讽标记进行分类和分类。通过对四种文本类型(广告、报纸专栏、书评和影评以及给编辑的信)的2042个同文反讽话语的内容分析，可以识别出三类支持策略:其他反讽话语、修辞和情绪标记。反讽支持策略的使用与报纸专栏类型呈正相关，专栏使用反讽话语和比喻作为反讽支持策略的比例高于语料库中的其他类型。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
