When ironic communication occurs, there must be a basic cognitive environment that may include inexhaustible elements, among which is a suggestion of complicity between the ironist and the hearer, which makes the process simple, convenient and fast. Complicity refers to the mutuality tacitly established or implied between the participants. This stduy explores its components, necessity and possibility in processing ironic communication and cognition.
