| Abstract: | The present paper intends to apply the fencing game model of irony proposed by Anolli, Infantino and Ciceri (2001). The research consists in the comparative approach of some ironical devices from parliamentary debates in Romanian and British politics since 2008 until present. The aim of the article is to analyse how irony is accomplished in interaction, namely construction and usage. Irony is easily recognisable and it is used as a criticism and as an attack. Here, irony is not considered a simple comment or utterance, but also consists of a complex communicative interaction influenced by different factors. |
