Verbal Irony def

1 answer

Verbal irony is a rhetorical device in which a speaker says one thing but means another, often the opposite of what is stated. This discrepancy between the literal meaning of the words and the intended meaning can create humor, emphasize a point, or express sarcasm. For example, if someone looks out at a rainy day and says, "What a beautiful day," they are using verbal irony to convey their true feelings about the weather.
