Lies we don't say: Figurative language, commitment, and deniability
A theory of lies should be able to explain, first, what makes lies special among the variety of deceptive uses of language and, second, why we don't consider figurative speakers to be lying even if they seem to be putting forward something they believe to be false. Here I contend that a commitment-based account can meet both aims without compromising with a too narrow conception of lies. The result is an approach that can accommodate the irregula…
Irony
Irony is an intriguing topic, central to the study of meaning in language. This book provides an introduction to the pragmatics of irony. It surveys key work carried out on irony in a range of disciplines such as semantics, pragmatics, philosophy and literary studies, and from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Grice's approach, Sperber and Wilson's echoic account, and Clark and Gerrig's pretense theory. It looks at a number of uses …

The Clash: Humor and critical attitude in verbal irony
Many pragmatic accounts of irony were proposed over the last decades. The best known may be the Gricean approach (Grice 1989a, 1989b), the echoic account (Sperber and Wilson 1981, 1995 [1986]; Wilson 2006, 2009) and the pretense theory (Clark and Gerrig 1984). These approaches state that irony consists in communicating the opposite, echoing or pretending, respectively. My aim here is to show that what defines verbal irony is something subtler: an…
She's (not) a fine friend: “Saying” and criticism in irony
Explaining ironic communication from a pragmatic standpoint has proven to be a challenge as interesting as it has been tricky. Some leading theories got off to a promising start in this endeavor, but they ended up making some rather forced maneuvers when counterexamples were presented one after the other. I shall show that a satisfactory explanation can be offered for ironic utterances: The ironic speaker's lack of commitment toward one of the co…
Irony is critical
Irony is acknowledged to be usually critical: the ironic speaker tends to exhibit an apparent positive attitude in order to communicate a negative valuation. The reverse is considered to be also possible though: the ironic speaker can praise by apparent blaming, although it seldom happens. This unbalance between the two sorts of ironic examples is the so-called asymmetry issue of irony. Here I shall deny the possibility of being ironic without cr…
