Sarcasm is diffuse in everyday interaction. It is considered less rough than criticism. The present study is concerned with investigating Iraqi EFL learners’ recognition of sarcastic utterances and expressions from a psycho-pragmatic perspective. It represents an attempt to answer the following questions: 1. Do Iraqi EFL students at the University of Babylon/ College of Education for Human Sciences/ Department of English face difficulties in recognizing sarcastic utterances and expression and why? 2. Which gender faces more difficulties in recognizing sarcastic utterances and expressions and why? 3. Which psycholinguistic theory is more pertinent in recognizing sarcastic intentions? To answer the previous questions, the related literature on sarcasm and the related psycholinguistic theories is reviewed and a test is conducted on 50 male and female students from the University of Babylon/ College of Education for Human Sciences/ Department of English. The study comes up with the conclusion that Iraqi EFL female students are more dexterous in recognizing sarcastic utterances because they tend to be more polite even in their criticisms. Accordingly, sarcasm is a female-dominated form of communication. |
