Abstract
The findings indicate that as a whole, audiences tend to detect irony in political interviews and to attribute irony detection to the interviewees unless they lack the relevant contextual knowledge. However, the identification of irony depends on the audiences' interpretation of the specific keying assigned to the discursive turns in question. It may be suggested that the influential factor for irony identification is assigning a non-serious keying to the situation.
