Abstract:

Applies cognitive linguistic approaches to text analysis in the traditions of
poetics and critical discourse analysis

* Brings together scholars working across stylistics and critical discourse
analysis including Peter Stockwell, Joanna Gavins and Elena Semino

* Uses experimental and ethnographic methods for textual research

* Explores phenomena such as metaphor, viewpoint and deixis as well as
epiphenomenal qualities such as a text’s ambience, atmosphere, power, ideology
or persuasiveness

* Texts analysed include Percy Shelly’s A Summer Evening Churchyard, Donna
Tartt’s The Goldfinch, the Lord’s Prayer as found in the Gospel according to
Matthew, Bruce Springsteen’s The Rising 

Drawing on range of text genres including novels, poems, health forums,
holiday guestbooks, prayers, political songs and news stories, each chapter
uses cognitive linguistics to shed light on the meanings and meaning-making
processes invoked when we encounter texts belonging to different literary and
political genres.

The book presents new insights into the workings of textual phenomena such as
metaphor, viewpoint and deixis and also sheds light on more elusive,
epiphenomenal qualities such as a text’s ambience, atmosphere, power, ideology
or persuasiveness. It also takes new strides in cognitive text analysis by
exploiting experimental and ethnographic methods to empirically investigate
readers’ reception of, and resistance to, texts.
