Specifically, I focus on the kinetic and kinaesthetic notions of motion, force and energy expounded in cognitive grammar, mainly, fictive motion, force dynamics and energy chains, addressing issues not only related to kinetic representation in literary texts but also its possible effects upon readers. With the English Romantic poet Wordsworth as the case study, I conduct detailed cognitive poetic analyses of selected poems, mainly informed by some cognitive grammatical constructs, to reveal the 'invisible' meaning of the text (Langacker, 1993). I outline a cognitive aesthetics of motion by drawing on findings from cognitive science, cognitive grammar and aesthetic theory. Based on this account, I conduct a systematic examination of the fictive motion and fictive stationariness in Wordsworth's works as regards their literary representation and poetic effects. Particularly this reveals how Wordsworth instils fictivity, dynamicity and subjectivity in the literary representation of nature. I relate this manner of describing nature to the picturesque tradition, which is closely associated with a static representation of nature originating in the eighteenth century. I present my analysis as evidence of Wordsworth's attempt to transcend this tradition. With respect to force, I link the notions of force dynamics, texture and poetic tension (Tate, 1948), arguing that force dynamics on the one hand constitutes one important dimension of texture and on the other hand is the conceptual core of poetic tension. I then apply the force-dynamic model to demonstrate how a force-dynamic view could illuminate the differing texture of two poems by Wordsworth. My analysis of the two poems helps account for their differing conceptual complexity and also their contrasting popularity among literary critics. In the case of energy, I draw on Langacker's action chain model, which proposes an energy flow across clauses. I scale the model up to the discourse level and then develop an energetic reading of Wordsworth, examining how energy is represented in another two poems by Wordsworth. This thesis sets out to be a significant work in both cognitive poetics and critical studies of Wordsworth. In the field of cognitive poetics, it is a timely response to redress the imbalance between a majority of macro-level analyses and a minority of close stylistic analyses, and to answer a growing call for returning the focus back to the textuality and texture of the text. The frameworks I have drawn on are not limited to the appreciation of Wordsworth or nature poetry; they can be fruitfully applied to other poets and other types of poetry.

  • Literature and the Cognitive Revolution: an Introduction
    Literature and the Cognitive Revolution: An Introduction Alan Richardson English, Boston College Francis F. Steen Communication Studies, UCLA Literary studies and the cognitive sciences, pursuing common interests in language, mental acts, and linguistic artifacts, have developed markedly different approaches to similar phenomena of reading, imaginative involve- ment, and textual patterning. Until quite recently, the distance between them has drawn more attention than their possible convergence (Franchi and Güzeldere ). A number of literary theorists and critics, however, have steadily been producing work that finds its inspiration, its method- ology, and its guiding paradigms through a dialogue with one or more fields within cognitive science: artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, post- Chomskian linguistics, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, and evolution- ary biology. Reuven Tsur () has been developing his ‘‘cognitive poet- ics’’ since the s; the prominent psychoanalytic critic Norman Holland (: ) demonstrated the advantages of attending to the ‘‘more powerful psychology’’ emerging from cognitive neuroscience in ; Mark Turner (: viii) advanced his far-reaching project of a ‘‘cognitive rhetoric’’ in ; and Ellen Spolsky (: ) trenchantly brought a theory of ‘‘cogni- tive instability’’ to bear on literary interpretation in . These and like- minded critics respond to the limitations (or, in Spolsky’s case, missed op- portunities) of poststructuralist conceptions of meaning and interpretation by questioning the reigning models in the field, whether in the interest of Poetics Today : (Spring ).

  • Cognitive Poetics: an Introduction
    Cognitive Poetics ‘A masterly presentation of the ‘cognitive turn’ in literary reading and anal- ysis, providing a radical re-evaluation of literary activity. … an invaluable text and an important contribution to the emerging field of cognitive poetics as a literary science.’ Margaret H. Freeman, Los Angeles Valley College, USA ‘In this book, Peter Stockwell presents a delightful combination of theoretical enlightenment with a deep concern for practical analysis and understanding.’ Willie van Peer, Munich University, Germany Cognitive poetics is a new way of thinking about literature, involving the application of cognitive linguistics and psychology to literary texts. This book is the first introductory text to this growing field. In Cognitive Poetics:An Introduction , the reader is encouraged to re-evaluate the categories used to understand literary reading and analysis. Covering a wide range of literary genres and historical periods, the book encompasses both American and European approaches. Each chapter explores a different cognitive poetic framework and relates it to a literary text. Including a range of activities, discussion points, suggestions for further reading and a glossarial index, the book is both interactive and highly accessible. Cognitive Poetics:An Introduction is essential reading for students on stylistics and literary-linguistics courses, and will be of interest to all those involved in literary studies, critical theory and linguistics.

  • Cognitive Poetics
    Cognitive Poetics Chloe Harrison and Peter Stockwell The origins and principles of cognitive poetics The explicit application of cognitive science to literary studies has a fairly recent history. The term ‘cognitive poetics’ was coined by Reuven Tsur in the 1970s to refer to his own research in the perceptual effects of literary works in readers (see Tsur 1992). Over the last two decades, the term has expanded its application to include the study of literary texts and readings which draws on cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics. Even more broadly, a ‘cognitive literary studies’ has emerged in which more general matters of evolutionary criticism, embodiment and social cognition have been brought to bear as part of a critical theory of literature. In this chapter, we take the middle extent of the field of cognitive poetics: the study of literary texts and readings which draws centrally on cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics. Central to this view of the field is a stylistic concern that any readerly or interpretative account must be underpinned by transparent textual evidence. Of course, the implicit understanding that matters of readerly perception and cognition are pertinent to the reading of literature is a practice as old as the most ancient observations on literary activity. To this extent, a consistent thread can be delineated stretching from ancient Greek, Roman, Indian and Chinese rhetorical arts to the present account (which has even occasionally been termed ‘cognitive rhetoric’). In our own time, however, the scholarly study of literature has been seized by successive crises of confidence throughout the 20th century, culminating in an anxiety about its own ‘Theory’ that has most recently been resolved by a retreat into historiography: obscurantism has been replaced by a rather simple ‘history of the book’ and literary scholarship has essentially become a narrow form of cultural studies.

  • Literary Theory, Stylistics and Cognitive Poetics Edebiyat Kuramı, Biçimbilim Ve Bilişsel Şiirbilim
    Research Notes Literary Theory, Stylistics and Cognitive Poetics Edebiyat Kuramı, Biçimbilim ve Bilişsel Şiirbilim Aydın Görmez Roger Alan Tunç Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Turkey Abstract The desire to understand and interpret the underlying mechanisms involved in the creation and reception of literary texts, and the influence of these mechanisms on human cognition goes back at least to Aristotle’s Poetics. However, the last century has witnessed a vast variety of approaches to the understanding of literature: a plethora of theories such as feminist, post colonialist, queer and reader response theories as well as some practical ways of analysis and interpretation such as formalism, new criticism, stylistics, cognitive poetics have shown themselves at the opposite end of the continuum. Stylistics and its evolved form, cognitive poetics have been significantly influential in the understanding of the processes involved in the creation and reception of literature. Although stylistics and cognitive poetics have usually been covered under the broad heading of literary theory, it has been observed that the divergence in the ways they operate makes such claims invalid because, unlike theory, empirical evidence is at the heart of stylistics and cognitive poetics. This paper aims to provide an overview of stylistics, and cognitive poetics and illustrate how they differ from literary theory. Keywords: Stylistics, cognitive poetics, theory, criticism, linguistics Öz Edebi metinlerin yaratılması ve algılanması ile ilişkili temel mekanizmaları anlama ve yorumlama arzusu ve bu mekanizmaların insan bilişi üzerindeki etkisi Aristoteles’in Poetika’sına kadar uzanır. Bununla birlikte, edebiyatı anlamaya yönelik çok çeşitli yaklaşımların ortaya çıktığı geçen yüzyılda; feminizm, sömürgecilik sonrası, queer teorisi ve okur tepkisi kuramı gibi çok sayıda teorinin yanı sıra biçimcilik, yeni eleştiri, biçimbilim, bilişsel şiirbilim, gibi bazı pratik analiz ve yorumlama yolları, bu sürecin karşıt temsilcileri olarak belirmişlerdir.

  • From Poetic to Cognitive: Bridging Literature and Science in Cognitive Poetics*
    Eger Journal of English Studies XII (2012) 41 50 From Poetic to Cognitive: Bridging Literature and Science in Cognitive Poetics* Mateusz Marecki Although the relationship between literature and philosophy is sanctioned by a long tradition, such a link reveals many limitations: philosophically anchored text analyses are subjective, - (Holland 1995). Cognitive poetics (Tsur 1992; Stockwell 2002), a burgeoning school of literary criticism, avoids those traps by re- (Louwerse & van Peer 424). In doing so, it attempts to build a bridge between the sciences and the humanities. Despite its refreshing approach, CP is still banished to the margins of criticism; the reason being that it is seen by the humanities as: (1) foregrounding the cognitive at the expense of the poetic (Danaher 2) and (2) relying too heavily on cognitive neuroscience. This paper explores to what extent cognitive science has influenced the field of literary studies. Through examination of three seminal books on CP Zbikowski, it aims both (1) to demarcate the boundaries between the cognitive and the poetic in selected cognitive analyses of literary texts and (2) to explore to what extent the application of scientific theories has had an impact on the language cognitive scholars use in their papers. Finally, this paper argues that if CP is to be recognized as a reliable methodology, it should borrow insights from reception theory and go truly empirical. The past few decades have witnessed intensified efforts to challenge the predominance of post-structuralism in literary studies. Apart from engendering * I would like to thank Theuns Louw for his invaluable comments on an earlier version of this paper.

With the continuous development of higher education in our country, the college English teaching model is gradually maturing. In recent years, the rise of cognitive poetics has created new opportunities for further improvement of college English teaching. This paper discusses the important role of cognitive poetics in college English teaching and the reform directions of college English teaching from the perspective of cognitive poetics to provide some references for the relative researchers. Introduction Cognitive poetics is a new literary theory since the 1970s. It integrates cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology, stylistics, narratology and literary criticism, which is an outstanding achievement in interdisciplinary research. Poetics is an important field, which has a very long history, and refers to the use of cognitive poetics to study cognitive poetics research methodology, gradually mature after years of development, has become the research hotspot in recent years in the field of academic research and teaching application. Cognitive poetics is a kind of poetic interpretation method, which is based on cognitive and psychological theories. Cognitive poetics mainly studies the relationship between literature and cognition. The focus of the study is to explain the relationship between language, structure and literary effect of literary works by the process and rules of psychological cognition.

  • Cognitive Poetics
    Cognitive Poetics Cognitive Poetics Ellen Spolsky Subject: Literary Theory Online Publication Date: Jun 2020 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190201098.013.968 Summary and Keywords Northrup Frye expressed a scholarly impatience with what seemed to him the inconse­ quentiality of literary study, asking if criticism might provide “a coordinating principle, a central hypothesis, which, like the theory of evolution in biology, will see the phenomena it deals with as parts of a whole" (1957). Cognitive literary theory did not actually answer to Frye’s scientism until almost fifty years later, and when it did, it moved quickly in many directions. But it did not (and still has not) coalesced into a unified theory. The vigor and excitement of the field derive from its openness to many different areas of brain science, the wide reach of its attention to so many varieties of works of imagination—their produc­ tion, their reception, and their history— and its resistance to a centralizing dogma. In her introduction to the Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Literary Studies, Lisa Zunshine, scholar in the field and its best historian, describes cognitive literary critics as working “not to­ ward consilience with science but toward a richer engagement with a variety of theoreti­ cal paradigms in literary and cultural studies" (2015). Scholars from most traditional hu­ manities fields: philosophers (both analytical and phenomenological and philosophers of mind and of language), cultural, literary, and art historians, literary critics and linguists, for example, and social scientists as well (anthropologists, archaeologists, and etholo­ gists), have found the various fields of brain science to offer new perspectives on some persistent questions.

With French Theory, textual and narrative theories, as well as rhetoric and semiology, were used to decoding the most disparate social facts, be it to understand a lover’s discourse for Barthes, to deconstruct philosophy through literature for Jacques Derrida, to rethink historical narrative in Hayden White, or to analyze the poetics of science for Fernand Hallyn. Pursuing the linguistic turn that had affected philosophy, literary theory had led textual categories and logics to a universal and hegemonic ambition: everything was language, everything constituted discourse, everything represented a sign.
