Step 2 - download the video and load it in ELAN
Step 3 - itemise 2 or 3 instances of irony
Step 4 - add variables (tiers): 1 "tier" for text and other "tiers" for whatever other dimensions you believe are needed to capture the indicators of irony in the performance (as we did in class). Espcially important are prosodic and facial cues.
