Summary/Abstract: Our article intends to observe the phenomenon of irony at the semantic discursive and rhetorical-argumentative level. We will insist on certain actualisation strategies, particularly discursive antonymy and defrosting. Irony is at the same time bearer of contradictions and trigger of semantic-lexical and discursive antonymy. Irony helps with the re-organisation of language and speech using both linguistic and extra-linguistic (semantic-pragmatic and discursive-argumentative) factors.
