Abstract

The article is devoted to irony as a culture phenomenon, which is examined by various aspects of science. The term of an author’s ironic discourse is examined and the peculiarities of ironical communication. Also in this article language is studied as a sign system with an author’s illocutionary intention and a recipient’s perlocutionary reaction, and also the influence of extralinguistic factors, including the way of organizing a text communication and an author’s consciousness peculiarities. Also the influence of the inner and outer contexts on the recipient’s understanding of the information is examined in the research. Examples are given from works of English authors.
