O QUE SIGNIFICA IRONY EM INGLÊS
Ironia
A ironia (da antiga grego εἰρωνεία (eirōneía), que significa "dissimulação, ignorância fingida"), em seu sentido mais amplo, é um dispositivo retórico, técnica literária ou evento caracterizado por uma incongruência ou contraste entre as expectativas de uma situação e o que é realmente o caso, com um terceiro elemento, que define que o que é realmente o caso é irônico devido à situação que o levou a isso. A ironia pode ser dividida em categorias como: verbal, dramática e situacional. A ironia verbal, dramática e situacional é freqüentemente usada para enfatizar a afirmação de uma verdade. A forma irônica de símile, usada em sarcasmo e algumas formas de littera pode enfatizar o significado de alguém pelo uso deliberado da linguagem que afirma o oposto da verdade, nega o contrário da verdade ou, drasticamente e, obviamente, subestima uma conexão factual. Outras formas, identificadas pelo historiador Connop Thirlwall, incluem ironia dialética e prática.
