Description
The five papers in this special issue, and the commentary on them by Roger Kreuz, are at the cutting edge of research on irony and sarcasm. The papers examine irony and sarcasm in experimental and in natural settings; with fully functioning adults and with children or people with brain damage, cases where irony is only partially implemented; and employ a wide range of methodologies. These papers demonstrate not only the scope and richness of current thinking on irony and sarcasm, but also how central the understanding of these phenomena are to our understanding of language and thought in general.
