 Researchers have reported various nonverbal features

of sarcasm. ( ① ) Most disagree as to whether nonverbal

cues are essential to the perception of sarcasm or the

emotion that prompts it. ( ② ) Even so, research

confirms the finding that nonverbal cues are more

credible than verbal cues, especially when verbal and

nonverbal cues conflict. Also, nonverbal cues are better

indicators of speaker intent. ( ③ ) As the nature of

sarcasm implies a contradiction between intent and

message, nonverbal cues may “leak” and reveal the

speaker’s true mood as they do in deception. ( ④ )

Ostensibly, sarcasm is the opposite of deception in

that a sarcastic speaker typically intends the

receiver to recognize the sarcastic intent; whereas,

in deception the speaker typically intends that the

receiver not recognize the deceptive intent. ( ⑤ )

Thus, when communicators are attempting to

determine if a speaker is sarcastic, they compare

the verbal and nonverbal message and if the two

are in opposition, communicators may conclude

that the speaker is being sarcastic.
