How to be sarcastic: The echoic reminder theory of verbal irony.
Abstract
Les conditions dans lesquelles un enonce est reconnu comme sarcastique varient selon que l'enonce est positif ou negatif. Il est rendu compte de cette asymetrie a l'aide de la theorie «du rappel en echo» (un sarcasme fait alusion a une situation antecedente) dans un cas et aux normes et attentes sociales dans l'autre cas (enonce positif) ― 3 experiences avec des scenaris contenant ou non des «victimes» testent cette hypothese
