Jonathan Culpeper talking ‘Sarcasm’ tonight on The One Show

Sarcasm is one of the phenomena that seems to have endless fascination for British people, partly because ย they are stereotypically associated with it. When did sarcasm first start? ย Is there something about British culture that makes it flourish? ย And what is sarcasm anyway? These are some of the questions that Gyles Brandeth ย of BBC 1’s The One Show puts to Jonathan Culpeper in an item reflecting on sarcasm in Britain.

Tune in to BBC1 tonight at 19:00 to hear CASS co-investigator Prof. Jonathan Culpeper discussing sarcasm on The One Show.
