The present study analyzes the phenomenon of intentional misinterpretation in verbal communication and its communicative functions. In human verbal communication, misunderstanding occurs when the hearer’s understanding of the speaker’s utterances is not identical with the speaker’s intended one. However, in some cases, the hearer may intentionally choose the interpretation diverging from the speaker’s intended meaning in order to achieve certain communicative effects. This kind of linguistic phenomenon can be called intentional misinterpretation, which performs various functions in human daily conversation.
