Abstract:

This book proposes an extension of Cognitive Grammar (Langacker 1987, 1991,
2008) towards a cognitive discourse grammar, through the unique environment
that literary stylistic application offers. Drawing upon contemporary research
in cognitive stylistics (Text World Theory, deixis and mind-modelling, amongst
others), the volume scales up central Cognitive Grammar concepts (such as
construal, grounding, the reference point model and action chains) in order to
explore the attenuation of experience – and how it is simulated – in literary
reading. In particular, it considers a range of contemporary texts by Neil
Gaiman, Jennifer Egan, Jonathan Safran Foer, Ian McEwan and Paul Auster. This
application builds upon previous work that adopts Cognitive Grammar for
literary analysis and provides the first extended account of Cognitive Grammar
in contemporary fiction.
