🚨 New paper out in Pragmatics & Cognition with @pennypexman.bsky.social! We review #irony #training studies and show that even short‑term training improves children’s irony comprehension, highlighting metapragmatic knowledge as a key mechanism in irony #development. 🔗 doi.org/10.1075/pc.2...

Delighted to share that I’ll be giving the keynote at the Humor Research Conference this Sunday. I’ll also be joining a panel on irony with my brilliant colleagues. We’re expected to discuss irony without being ironic — let’s see how that goes. #Irony #HumorResearch #AcademicLife #Keynote
