Unlike other stylistic devices in Yorùbá studies which have been sufficiently
studied,irony and the ironic have not attracted such overwhelming attention. This study therefore, to the best of my knowledge is the first attempt by any scholar to give irony and the ironic the schorlarly attention they deserve. Here in this study, the definition, the features, the types, functions, their contexts of usage and factors involved in the interpretation of irony and the ironic are brought to the fore or highlighted.
One of the qualities of literature is complexity leading to multi-dimensional semantic interpretation. Literature is no longer an artistic work when the appeal is simple, straight and most immediate. Therefore, this study has made it clear that irony and the ironic, because of their nature also contribute to the complexity of literature.
The study has made it clear thatirony and the ironic constitute the most veritable stylistic tool (used by authors) for the Yorùbá written tragic playto achieve
cxxxvi
the tragic themes of death, escapism and malady. No other stylistic devices are known to achieve this effect more than irony and the ironic.
Irony and the ironic elements , with differing manifestations , occurred in historical, philosophical, political and cultural contexts , and perform theme and effect-based stylistic functions in Yorù bá tragic plays . These elements, thus, enhanced the readers‟ understanding of the Yorùbá concept of tragedy as evident in the plays.
Though irony and the ironic are veritable stylistic devices. However, they must be used minimally and with caution in order not to impair communication. This is because irony and the ironic may be semantically misleading if care is not taken in its usage. This implies that irony and the ironic should be minimally used for the text to be semantically accessible.
