Based on a chapter from the author's doctoral thesis, this article deals with the use of irony by informants in sociolinguistic interviews from the corpus of the project Habla de Monterrey. In this regard, fragments from seven of these interviews are checked as to: a) the presence of irony, intertextuality and humor in interview dialogs and the relations that hold between them; b) the linguistic devices through which they manifest themselves; and c) the purpose of their use in each case. To account for these aspects of the phenomenon under consideration, the following theoretical proposals were taken into account in the analysis: T. Bubnova's proposal about laughter and popular culture; J. Kristeva's proposal about the bajtinian carnival and intertextuality; Pere Ballart and Valeriano Bozal's theory about the ironical fi guration; H. Bergson´s proposals about comicality and laughter; S. Freud's proposals about laughter, joke, comicality and humor in relation with the unconscious; Jorge Portilla's ideas of humor and irony; and R. Rutelli's proposals about parody and irony.
