Abstract:

The text examines the possibilities to create an ironic tone in the media discourse by repeating and distorting the words of the person speaking. The paper analyzes the means to ironize others in journalistic comments. The different language levels are consistently explored. It is shown that a critical look at current public policy uses indirect argumentation based on the familiar principle of science – reductio ad absurdum. The stylistic means of expression and evaluation are explored.
