In this paper I will focus on Internet memes, especially image memes, which I will analyze from a cognitive linguistics view. The first, rather theoretical section of this paper will be about the etymology of the term meme. Afterwards, I will present a few cognitive aspects of memes with particular emphasis on stereotypes and irony. These aspects will be examined by analyzing some examples.
