Descrizione
A pioneering text in its first edition, this revised edition of Cognitive Poetics focuses in on Peter Stockwell's cognitive approach to literary reading and analysis.
The second edition of this seminal text features:
updated theory, frameworks and examples throughout, including the text-world theory and conceptual metaphor
a greater focus on recent empirical work in relation to areas such as the analysis of emotion
a new chapter on texture and resonance, as well as blending and compression
a fully updated chapter on cognitive grammar, taking into consideration recent advances in the field
Encouraging the reader to adopt a fresh approach to understanding literature and literary analyses, each chapter introduces a different framework within cognitive poetics and relates it back to a literary text. Both American and European approaches are considered across as a wide range of literary genres and historical periods.
This thoroughly revised edition of Cognitive Poetics includes an expanded further reading section and updated exercises, making it essential reading for students on literary theory and stylistics courses, as well as a fundamental tool for those studying critical theory, linguistics and literary studies.
