Cognitive stylistics

[zmaalej]

Dear all

As far as my knowledge goes, there exist the following approaches to the
analysis of style: literary stylistics (e.g. Burton; Toolan), linguistic
stylistics (e.g. Short), pedagogical stylistics (e.g. Widdowson), formalist
stylistics (e.g. Jakobson), functional stylistics (e.g Halliday), affective
stylistics (e.g. Fish), radical or critical stylistics (e.g. Burton;
Fowler), pragmatic stylistics (e.g. Sperber & Wilson).  I am interested to
know whether the concept of "cognitive stylistics" exists. If it does, can
people on this list direct toward some of the literature.

Thanks for your collaboration.
