摘要
Verbal irony is so complex in nature that linguists have tried to define it from perspectives of analysis very heterogeneous. Consequently, an extensive bibliography on the matter is available. However, it generates more dilemmas than it solves, since no theory by itself is sufficient to typify the totality of possible ironic occurrences clearly. Given this theoretical problem, this work presents a review and analysis of five of the most significant theoretical models in the study of verbal irony within the pragmatics discipline. The aim is, in the first place, to show their theoretical weaknesses, as well as the foundations that are potentially valid, providing reasons in that regard; and, in second place, to expound some of the theoretical and methodological keys that the conclusions drawn previously suggest as essential to progress towards a more unitary, comprehensive and consistent definition of verbal irony.
