Irony study is drawing more and more attention from philosophers, psychologists and linguists as well as cognitive scientists, in that it will shed light on the comprehension process of nonliteral language,including metaphor. Meanwhile it will bring out the difference between irony and metaphor comprehension.This paper is mainly intended to make clear the following three issues concerning irony: motivation for irony, its nature, mechanism for distinguishing irony from non-irony through the critical reviewing of some major theories of irony, including their respective theoretical strengths and inadequacies. As the discussion shows,each theory has its own merits and values in the explanation of the different aspects of irony. The paper also outlines the possible areas and theoretical significance for future research.

The aim of this paper was to discuss the role of irony as one of the stylistic means used for expressing either something different or opposite of what the speaker really thinks. Several key theoretical approaches to irony and its features were compared and analysed in the play of Oscar Wilde 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. The contribution contains examples proving that neither implicit nor explicit irony markers play significant role for the author; that most of the irony in this play is based on the situation or the context and that irony was mostly used to achieve humoristic effect.

Frederick Douglass's oration, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" is a rhetorical masterwork of irony. It illustrates a strategy for enlisting the liberatory potential inherent in the detached and multiple perspective of irony without allowing that detachment to culminate in political impotence. The speech accomplishes this through opening before its audience the expansive visual and temporal spaces in which irony thrives, then collapsing those spaces so irony cannot be sustained. The speech therefore exemplifies a kairotic management of irony's scopic attitude, emphasizing for its audience the importance of seeing when irony is appropriate and when it is not.
