However, relevance theory has preferred to focus on how hearers build up propositions that fill the gap between what is meant and what is eventually inter-preted (Carston 2002). These are easier to handle, possess a mental representation and are a genuine ob-ject of analysis for linguistics (Chapman 2001, García-Carpintero 2010, Moeschler 2009). In this paper, a review is provided of several ways in which feelings and emotions play an important part in the even-tual quality of interpretations, specifically focusing on irony (Yus 2016a, 2016b) and Internet-mediated communication (Yus 2016c, forthcoming).Чувства и эмоции, обычно не связанные с пропозицией, играют большую роль в процессе интерпретации того, к чему они относятся. Тем не менее, теория релевантности предпочтительно акцентирует внимание на том, как слушающие строят предположения, заполняющие разрыв между тем, что имелось в виду, и что было понято (Carston 2002). Эти предположения обладают ментальной репрезентацией и являются объектом изучения лингвистов (Chapman 2001, García-Carpintero 2010, Moeschler 2009). Статья представляет собой обзор некоторых способов выражения чувств и эмоций, которые играют важную роль в интерпретации сказанного. Автор уделяет особенное внимание иронии (Yus 2016a, 2016b) и интернет-коммуникации (Yus 2016c, в печати).feelingsemotionsnon-propositional effectsirony comprehensionInternet-mediated communicationcyberpragmaticsonline identityчувстваэмоциипонимание иронииинтернет-коммуникациякиберпраг-матикаон-лайн идентичность1.Akimoto, Y., Sugiura, M., Yomogida, Y., Miyauchi, C.M., Miyazawa, S. & Kawashima, R.
