{"pk":30159,"title":"Intentionality, speaker’s attitude and the processing of verbal irony","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Does it take more or less time to read ironic sentences than toread literal equivalents? Though this question has beenextensively discussed in the literature, the results are mixed(seeeg. Filik & Moxey, 2010). The present work attempt to accountfor the differences in the literature by considering the variableeffect of anticipating the intentions of a speaker duringcomprehension of ironic utterances used to answer yes/noquestions, as well as the role of explicit cues regarding theattitude of a speaker. The results show that both of these factorsinteract and together modulate the interpretation of a sentenceas ironic or literal as well as the utterance’s reading times. Weinterpret the results are broadly in line with the predictionsmade by the echoic mention account.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"irony comprehension; self-paced reading;experimental pragmatics"}],"section":"Papers accepted as Posters, appearing in proceedings only","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/624931c2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Camilo","middle_name":"Rodríguez","last_name":"Ronderos","name_suffix":"","institution":"Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin","department":""},{"first_name":"Ira","middle_name":"","last_name":"Noveck","name_suffix":"","institution":"Université Paris","department":""},{"first_name":"Jack","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tomlinson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Leibnitz-zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30159/galley/20013/download/"}]}
