Chapter One Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Irony, a common phenomenon, which is easily found at all levels of language. And it is considered to be a technique of using incongruity to show the difference between reality and expectations by saying one thing and meaning another. The irony in some speeches, in everyday life, is often used in spite of being unconscious about it. For instance, a very thin boy is called “fatty” and a very fat man is called “skinny”. And in the same way, the utterance “well, how clever you are!” may often be said and that maybe means the addressee is not clever but stupid. And these examples are just as Kierkegaard (1966) claims that no authentic human life is possible without irony. From time immemorial, being an alluring phenomenon for many a scholar and researcher, the irony has been researched from a variety of aspects in many different approaches. When it comes to traditional rhetoric and literature, irony is taken as a figure of speech which is the remarkable feature of the works written by Jonathan Swift, William Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, and the like. And in their works, irony has always been considered to be a type of ornaments in order to make their own speech or writing more powerful and persuasive. These attempts, nevertheless, cannot explain what the irony really is and how it is produced. And it is nice to see that a great number of scholars and researchers, including linguists and psychologists, have been doing some studies to answer these questions over the past decades, which has predicatively made a great contribution to have a better understanding of the full extent of the irony. And among them one of the most famous is Grice?s Conversational Implicature (1975) which tries to see irony, metaphor and hyperbole as an intentional violation to produce special conversational implicature. And then with the advent and development of cognitive linguistics in 1980s, the cognitive mechanism of irony has paid much attention to by some linguists, including Sperber &Wilson?s Echoic Mention Theory (1981) and Utsumi?s Implicit Display Theory (2000). Although these theories can account for the recognition and understanding of irony, they cannot completely explain the dynamic online meaning construction of irony. And Fauconnier put forward Conceptual Blending Theory in the 1990s on the basis of “Mental Space”, which depends on some new perspectives to explain the establishment of cognitive model and the mechanism of meaning generating. And the
