Going by a technical bias, the work consists of maturing knowledge that will be needed in the future in a macro idea. At first, it became essential to know the functioning of some uses of language that relate to the characteristics employed in the humorous approach, as an example of this, irony and/or sarcasm. However, the issue that supports this body of knowledge that is instituted in use, whether in speech or at the textual level, is the relationship that language users seek but cannot clearly achieve, between humor and the figure of speech they use. the fence, the irony. Because there is no agreement that delimits a border between both, the unknown is established. By seeking to recognize through interpretation how students, as language users, are able to recognize and point out certain uses based on contexts involving humor and irony, they are susceptible to explaining phenomena that are present in the text and that work as triggers to generate a certain reaction to the text. reader, we can understand where the possible difficulty lies in understanding them. If it is a matter of low resourcefulness when interpreting, if it is an approach with technical weight that does not match what is required of them, or even, not knowing how to identify the function used in the figures of speech worked on.Acesso AbertoLetras - PortuguêsHumorIroniaCompreensão textualTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
