Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present how irony is expressed in the bg-mamma forums. Forum’s communication is written, dialogic (even polylogic), space- and time-distinct. The image of communicators is built by their language, so every user tries to make their messages interesting, intriguing and to dominate in conversations. That’s why irony is a wide-spread device for demonstrating power by language use. The irony is expressed by the help of synonymy, antonymy, homonymy and paronymy.
