FUNCTIONAL SEMANTICS ОF IRONIC PRONOUNCEMENTS ІN MEDIATEXTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of clarifying the functional semantics of ironic manifestations
in mass media. Throughout the whole history of its nature, irony has received a huge number of forms,
that until now there has never been a classification that defines a clear line between irony and categories.
The meaningful heterogeneity of the text with its ironic direction has the particularity that it is created by
the journalist intentionally, with the aim of provoking a certain stylistic effect. The article is devoted to
research functional semantics of ironic excerpts in mass media and their linguistic backgrounds, which
they express. The opening of this concept of irony, describes by the identification of irony as a content
conceptual category of text, allowing the journalist to come up with an emotionally-valued attitude to
the displayed reality.
