Have you ever been misunderstood or accidentally offended someone? Here's how to prevent future issues, writes swhitbo
Irony can contribute to humor, but it also has its risks of inadvertently offending people.
Rather than eliminate irony from your communication, knowing how to use it can enhance your relationships. When you ask your friend, who overheard the whole exchange, she points out that something about the comment sounded sarcastic. It’s not what you said, but how you said it.This little incident provides an illustration of how easy it is not to say the wrong thing but to say the right thing the wrong way. According to Max Planck Institute’s Pauline Larrouy-Maestri and colleagues , “prosody,” or the stress you provide on your words, is a major but perhaps unrecognized force in communication.
Fortunately, the research conducted by the German authors helps to provide a roadmap to proper use of prosody by showing what leads a spoken sentence to sound ironic.In irony, as the authors note, there is a “discrepancy between what is said and the meaning that is likely intended by the speaker”…which “primes a full-blown inversion of the literal semantic meaning of the words that are used” .
