Abstract: Many artistic means in the language, in addition to their meaning, express figurative meanings, serve to reveal a decoration intended for some purpose of the speaker. The figurative use of words plays an invaluable role in revealing the aesthetic function of language, in general, in clearly demonstrating the writer’s purpose in a literary text. Irony is one of such means. Irony not only makes our speech expressive, but also protects it from rude words. Irony serves not only to express a negative meaning (cut, slur, hint, sarcasm), but also to express a positive meaning (caress, affection) through words with a negative connotation.
