Theorists have debated whether our ability to understand sarcasm is principally determined by the context (Gibbs, 1994; Utsumi, 2000) or by properties of the comment itself (Giora, 1997; 2003; Grice, 1975). The current research investigated an alter... Read More about The role of defaultness and personality factors in sarcasm interpretation: evidence from eye-tracking during reading.
