Resumen
Objetivo. Analizar las reflexiones metapragmáticas que presentan 32 adolescentes de 12 y 15 años de edad (16 por grupo etario) sobre la función de la ironía verbal en dos tipos de actos de habla: agradecimiento y ofrecimiento irónicos. Método. Los participantes se enfrentaron a ocho historias que terminaban con una expresión irónica y mediante un guion de preguntas se indagó sobre las funciones que les atribuían a los enunciados irónicos. Resultados. Se muestran diferencias significativas debidas a la edad, pero no al tipo de enunciado en las reflexiones que hacen los adolescentes, lo que confirma que la capacidad para hacer reflexiones metapragmáticas sobre la ironía verbal se desarrolla de manera muy tardía en el lenguaje infantil.
