I am a student at Adam Mickiewicz University looking for volunteers who would like to help me and answer a questionnaire for me. The age limit is 20-40 and the participants should be native speakers of English. Link below: http://www.test_ironia.republika.pl/exam.html It will take only 15 minutes to perform. My thesis concerns irony comprehension and reaction time connected with processing the irony. I need to know whether the sentences are ironic or not in the questionnaire. The sentences will be used in my research. Thank you for your help Sylwia Hermaszewska Adam Mickiewicz University Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics                             Psycholinguistics                             Semantics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 16-Feb-2012       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
