Asmaa Ibrahim Ahmed Aref;

Abstract


This research attempts to investigate Egyptians’ social attitudes related to some events that took place in Egypt and worldwide through the analysis of Egyptians’ Facebook posts and comments in some Facebook public pages. The researcher analyzed 24 posts and some comments using the Echoic Mention theory of verbal irony by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson (2012) for the analysis of the text in the posts as well as the Multimodal theory for the analysis of the images found in the posts and comments by Gunther kress and Theo van Leeuwen (2006). The results show a clear connection between the ironic utterances found in the posts and the images accompanying these posts.
