1 irony
- is a stylistic device in which the contextual evaluative meaning of a word is directly opposite to its dictionary meaning- is the foregrounding not of the logical but of the evaluative meaning- is the contradiction between the said and implied- is subdivided into verbal irony and sustained ironyThe context is arranged so that the qualifying word in irony reverses the direction of the evaluation, and the word positively charged is understood as a negative qualification and (much-much rarer) vice versa. The context varies from the minimal - a word combination to the context of a whole book.The lift held two people and rose slowly, groaning with diffidence. (I.Murdoch)
Apart from splits based on politics, racial, religious and ethic backgrounds and specific personality differences, we're just one cohesive team. (D.Uhnak)
