"One of the best qualities [of Irony in Language and Thought] is the thought-provoking comparison of different theories of irony and their experimental testing. This enables the readers to see the pros and cons of different theoretical frameworks. An excellent starting point for those studying indirect ways of communication." -Ksenia M. Shilikhina, Voronezh State University
