The main text follows: “Placed at the top of a newspaper page, this headline doesn’t report a fact — it provokes, pressures, anticipates disaster.

A beige-toned social media card features a quote in English from an academic article, framed by a vertical black line on the left. At the top, it reads “LEIA EM CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA” in uppercase black letters. The main text says: “The identification of irony depends on extralinguistic and social factors, whose absence in written texts makes automatic detection difficult. Since ironic meaning can be conveyed through pragmatic information, developing sentiment lexicons for opinion mining appears to be a promising path.” The words irony and automatic detection are highlighted in lavender. Below the quote, the citation appears in small capital letters: WICK-PEDRO, G.; VALE, O. A., 2020 In the bottom left corner, there's a small minimalist sunburst-style icon made of short black lines, symbolizing publication or insight.

“A beautiful model of ethics and morality.” Sincere? Not quite. Irony in opinion texts flips meaning—misleading both readers and machines. This study shows how irony works and what it takes to detect it.

Image with a light background and centered text. At the top, in uppercase gray letters: "READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA". Below, the question in bold: "Why do candidates attack their opponents in political debates?". The text explains that in political debates, persuasion happens by promoting one’s own image and discrediting the opponent’s. The attack aims to weaken the opponent and create an unconscious agreement with the audience, using arguments like bad examples and turning the opponent’s words against them. This way, candidates try to align their ideas with values accepted by the audience. The words "persuasion" and "unconscious agreement" are highlighted with a light blue background. In the bottom left corner, there is a small stylized lightning icon.
