"Now tell me it in other words." Artistic texts in the perspective of cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics. A few notes

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The article is focused on some aspects of contemporary approaches to cognitive poetics, distinguishing neurocognitive aspects of the examination of artistic texts, and then the cognitive-linguistic, literary-theoretical and cognitive-semantic aspects. All these approaches to the artistic text are complementary and interrelated.

Cognitive poetics is often characterized as a discipline "old and new at the same time" Old because it is focused (one would say not very revealingly) on the internal organization of the text, on traditional detailed stylistic analysis, conducted with regard to how the text constructed in a certain way functions in the reception, how it affects the reader. The novelty lies perhaps only in a more conscious study of the relationship between the means used and their cognitive effects.
