  abstract  = {This paper provides a linguistic and pragmatic analysis of the phenomenon of
	irony in order to represent how Twitter's users exploit irony devices within
	their communication strategies for generating textual contents. We aim to
	measure the impact of a wide-range of pragmatic phenomena in the interpretation
	of irony, and to investigate how these phenomena interact with contexts local
	to the tweet. 
	Informed by linguistic theories, we propose for the first time a multi-layered
	annotation schema for irony and its application to a corpus of French, English
	and Italian tweets. We detail each layer, explore their interactions, and
	discuss our results according to a qualitative and quantitative perspective.},
