Description: The study is devoted to the linguo-cognitive nature of ironic utterances. The use of the linguistic cognitive approach to ironic utterances makes it possible to interpret such examples of ironic communication that formerly remained inaccessible to explanation from the standpoint of structural linguistics. The purpose of this work is to study the linguo-cognitive mechanisms underlying the ironic utterances in the texts of German newspapers and magazines. By analyzing more than 1,000 examples of ironic utterances taken in contemporary German journalism, the study defined, firstly, the type of information necessary for the ironic meaning actualization, and second, the scheme of cognitive calculations, leading to the interpretation of utterance as ironic. As a result, 4 main types of information frames (frame-concepts, language frames, frame-scenarios and frame-settings), a general linguo-cognitive model of the ironic utterance and 8 models of its implementation in a journalistic text were described. The obtained data reveals that language can perform a dual role in the formation of ironic meaning. On the one hand, language meanings serve as a verbal transmission of irony-based frames. On the other hand, language frames can be a direct material for the creation of linguistic irony.
