摘要

言语反讽在社会交往中普遍存在，可能是因为它可以用来达到许多交际目的和效果。一般来说，言语讽刺有负面影响，但在这篇文章中，我们提出了言语讽刺在认知、社会和情感上的好处的证据，并展示了这种语言形式的潜力，为心理学提供了重要的见解。讽刺的力量在于它能够创造出与字面意义相冲突的意义，从而改变我们对它的理解，并通过这样做增强认知，调解情绪或塑造社会关系。

When It Pays to Be Insincere: On the Benefits of Verbal Irony

Verbal irony is pervasive in social interaction, presumably because it can be used to achieve a number of communicative goals and effects. In general, verbal irony has a reputation for having negative effects, but in this article we present evidence for the cognitive, social, and emotional benefits of verbal irony and demonstrate the potential of this form of language to provide crucial psychological insights. The power of irony lies in its ability to create meaning that is in conflict with the literal meaning—thus altering our understanding of it and by doing so enhancing cognition, mediating emotions, or shaping social relationships.
