Abstract

This paper addresses the use of the annotations and descriptions in the scripts of a Spanish television series as
metapragmatic labels that classify (im)polite instances as ironic or sarcastic. Fictional data are proposed as a corpus that allows a first-order approach to the lay understanding and evaluation of (im)polite utterances as ironic or sarcastic, as the scriptwriters use them in the scripts when addressing the production crew. Our qualitative analysis allows us to focus on the main (im)polite strategies marked as ironic or sarcastic in the corpus and shows a substantial similiarity in the use of both labels.
