积极的陈述，如“你是一个好朋友”，可以很容易地被用来批评。消极的陈述，如“你是一个糟糕的朋友”，只能在特殊情况下使用。我们解释这种不对称的回声提醒理论，它断言，听众识别讽刺时，他们认为，发言者是暗指一些先行状态的事务。积极的陈述不需要明确的前提，因为这样的陈述可能隐含着社会规范和期望，而这些规范几乎总是积极的。然而，否定的陈述不能含蓄地暗示这种肯定的规范，因此，如果要理解它们，它们应该需要明确的前提。一个明确的受害者的批评意图的评论可以提供这样一个先行词，所以应该使负面的陈述被使用批评。三个实验，涉及的情况下，没有受害者，提供支持这一理论的讽刺。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Positive statements, such as" A fine friend you are," can readily be used sarcastically. Negative statements, such as" You're a terrible friend," can be used sarcastically only under special circumstances. We account for this asymmetry in terms of echoic reminder theory, which asserts that listeners recognize sarcasm when they perceive that a speaker is alluding to some antecedent state of affairs. Positive statements do not require explicit antecedents because such statements may implicitly allude to societal norms and expectations, and these norms are almost invariably positive. Negative statements, however, cannot implicitly allude to such positive norms, and so they should require explicit antecedents if they are to be understood. An explicit victim of a sarcastically intended remark can provide such an antecedent and so should enable negative statements to be used sarcastically. Three experiments, involving scenarios with and without victims, provide support for this theory of sarcastic irony.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
