Dear All, People who are interested in the development of irony in children should look for Ellen Winner's (1988) book The Point of Words: Children's understanding of metaphor and irony (Harvard University Press). It's a wonderful book that speaks of the potential reversability of these two concepts and how children come to know them and put them to use.
