This book attempts to analyse irony, paradox, oxymoron, overstatement, understatement, euphemism, and dysphemism from the point of view of both Cognitive Linguistics and Pragmatics. In order to do so, we have regarded each trope as a cognitive model, and observed that the various ICMs that resulted from this approach had in common an essential feature: they were all constructed around the creation of contrasts. Also, we have developed a common processing model for these ICMs, which shows that these so-called figures of speech can be fully considered conceptual mechanisms of meaning creation and derivation. Apart from determining which specific pragmatic implications these models bring about and studying their underlying cognitive operations, we have argued that they should be described in terms of the contextual effects they produce. Therefore, a new classification and definition of these tropes is provided.

As digitally mediated communication (DMC) further develops, it offers valuable insight into human interaction to linguists and other researchers, with communication platforms such as Twitter and Wikipedia providing rich sources of data with their vast supply of textual records. Each platform of digitally mediated interaction is unique and allows for an individual understanding of how users connect and interact via particular software and site parameters. This study explores collaborative authorship in the online wiki TV Tropes, a combination encyclopedia and dictionary of media devices, where wiki editors, or tropers, can work democratically to create new jargon (tropes) for the wiki dictionary. This quantitative study incorporates elements from both computer mediated discourse analysis (Herring, 2004) and digital conversation analysis (Giles, 2015) to analyze tropers' discussions on the Trope Launch Pad, a forum for DMC regarding proposed tropes and their definitions. Results determined that input from the trope's original poster (OP) appear to influence the time span of conversations, though other participants may still comment and respond to each other without the presence of the OP. A number of participants may post in multiple discussions, potentially influencing a host of new tropes. Issues of formatting and clarity are especially salient topics as tropers strive to follow the wiki rules and to produce distinct tropes with precise definitions. Participants also frequently comment to offer examples representing occurrences of the trope in media, which provide support to a proposal and demonstrate participants' understanding of what the trope entails. The Trope Launch Pad and other discussion sections of the TV Tropes wiki provide an untapped data source of DMC on a unique platform where tropers not only catalogue and discuss media topics, but intentionally collaborate to create neologisms that add to the wiki's dictionary and become enduring pieces of TV Tropes' jargon.

Properties and objects are everywhere, but remain a philosophical mystery. Douglas Ehring argues that the idea of tropes--properties and relations understood as particulars--provides the best foundation for a metaphysical account of properties and objects. He develops and defends a new theory of trope nominalism.

In the book If Tropes, the author attempts to approach and then deal with some of the most basic problems for a theory of tropes. The investigation proceeds from three basic assumptions: (i) tropes (i.e. particular properties) exist, (ii) only tropes exist (that is, tropes are the only basic or fundamental kind of entities), and (iii) the main-function for tropes is to serve as truth-makers for atomic propositions. Provided that one accepts these assumptions the author finds that the trope-theorist will have to deal with two important matters. Some atomic propositions seem to require universal truth-makers and others seem to require concrete truth-makers. This means that universals and concrete particulars will need to be constructed from the material of tropes. Such constructions are attempted and it is argued that it is possible to deal at least with these basic issues while staying squarely within the boundaries of a purely trope-theoretical framework. The book is written in an untechnical language but requires some prior understanding of basic metaphysics.
