    (Belatedly)

    Volume 17 (2002), n.2, of Metaphor and Symbol has three interesting
    articles on irony, two with experimental evidence:

    "Recognizing Verbal Irony in Spontaneous Speech" by G.A. Bryant & J.E. Fox Tree
    "Politeness and Perception of Irony: Honorifics in Japanese" by S. Okamoto

    and one discussing irony after September 9, 2001:

    "Irony in the Wake of Tragedy," by Ray Gibbs.

    I take this opportunity to remind members of the list that Metaphor and
    Symbol is a good place to submit articles on metaphor, irony, and so on

    Cheers, Dan
