Joana Garmendia obtained her PhD in Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country, with a dissertation on the pragmatics of irony. She has been (2008-2010) a post-doctoral fellow at the CSLI (Stanford University); then (2010-2013) a Juan de la Cierva researcher at the ILCLI; and she is now (2013-present) an assistant professor at the Department of Basque Language and Communication of the University of the Basque Country. Her main research interests include irony, non-literal speech, fictional discourse, and the semantics and pragmatics of Basque. Her publications have been devoted to those very fields. She has been the assistant secretary of GOGOA — the ILCLI journal, which is devoted to the study of language, knowledge, communication, and action — from 2002 to 2007, and again from 2010 to present.
