Impact Statement:
Detecting irony and sarcasm in text is crucial for a multitude of applications spanning various domains, including natural language processing, social media analytics, politics, societal issues, linguistics, and beyond. These phenomena are pervasive in online communication platforms and wield significant influence over the interpretation of textual content. Accurately identifying irony and sarcasm is indispensable for tasks such as sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and automated content moderation, as they offer nuanced insights into user attitudes and intentions. Overall, the ability to detect and interpret irony and sarcasm holds significant importance across diverse fields, shaping our understanding of human communication and societal interactions. A comprehensive synthesis of the current state of the field, particularly the utilization of deep learning approaches, alongside a comparison of various methodologies, can empower researchers to make informed decisions regarding the selection of optimal methods and datesets tailored to their specific application needs.

Abstract:

This article provides a review of classification methods for irony and sarcasm in textual data. It explores different approaches to detecting irony and sarcasm, their definitions, distinguishing features, and detection methodologies. The study examines a range of datasets used in irony and sarcasm detection research, including short-text datasets from social media platforms and long-text datasets from product reviews and discussion forums. Additionally, the article discusses the various features employed in sarcasm detection experiments, such as lexical, pragmatic, hyperbole, semantic, syntactic, sentiment, and contextual features. It also explores the classification methodologies used. The article concludes by analyzing each classification method and highlighting the latest trends in irony and sarcasm detection.
