Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Katz and Pexman reported that certain occupations (e.g., comedian) were associated with ironic speech and that participants rated metaphors as more sarcastic when speakers were members of such occupations. In the present research, the authors investigated whether speaker occupation was a cue to ironic intent when the statements were not metaphors (e.g., literal statements such as “you are a wonderful friend, ” potentially an ironic insult, and “you are a terrible friend, ”potentially an ironic compliment). Results of Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that speaker occupation stereotypes were routinely integrated in the comprehension process but only cued ironic intent when other contextual cues were minimal.Results of Experiment 3 demonstrated that speaker occupation stereotypes involve particular types of information in the context of potentially ironic speech: a speaker’s perceived tendencies to be humorous, to criticize, to be sincere, and also a speaker’s perceived education level.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
