Abstract
The paper is an attempt to determine the features of an ironical metalinguistic (reflexive) expressions that could be used as a criteria for these expressions typology and to present the draft of such typology. Relevant features of units studied here are provided by results of semantic, pragmatic and discourse analysis of some examples. It is shown that basic criteria include the identity of reflexive comment sender, the relations between communicative agents and the type of contradiction between the metalinguistic expression and the context (generally the utterance commented by an ironist).
