New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style Summary

New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style by Dr Marcello Giovanelli

In recent years, the Cognitive Grammar account of language and mind has become an influential framework for the study of textual meaning and interpretation. This book is the first to bring together applications of Cognitive Grammar for a range of stylistic purposes, including the analysis of both literary and non-literary discourse. Demonstrating the diverse range of uses for Cognitive Grammar, chapters apply this framework to diverse text-types including poetry, narrative fiction, comics, press reports, political discourse and music, as well as exploring its potential for the teaching of language and literature in a range of contexts. Combining cutting-edge research in cognitive, critical and pedagogical stylistics, New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style showcases the latest developments in this field and offers new insights into our experiences of literary and non-literary texts by drawing on current understandings of language and cognition.

New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style Reviews

This innovative collection showcases the most exciting current applications of cognitive grammar. Its benefits for both literary and non-literary stylistics are demonstrated throughout, with welcome attention to political and media texts, as well as multimodal discourse and pedagogy. The flexibility of the framework emerges clearly, along with its openness, in the hands of such expert researchers as are gathered together here, to bold advances and new directions. * Joe Bray, Professor of Language and Literature, The University of Sheffield, UK *
This exciting collection demonstrates how literary linguistics, critical discourse analysis and educational linguistics profit from the application of concepts and methods from Cognitive Grammar. The papers provide a most welcome contribution to the burgeoning field of Cognitive Stylistics, proving, above all, the value of systematic and rigorous analysis of linguistic choices with a view to textual effects and language understanding in both literary and non-literary contexts. * Ralf Schneider, Chair of English Literature, RWTH Aachen University, Germany *
This lively and wide-ranging collection demonstrates the capacity of cognitive grammar to throw light on the meanings of texts, both literary and non-literary, from the perspective of what may be happening in the reader's mind. Clearly written and well-illustrated, it will appeal to researchers and students alike. * Lesley Jeffries, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, University of Huddersfield, UK *
[T]his book expands the scope of application of Cognitive Grammar, and deepens the study of Cognitive Stylistics to more complex human cognition. It is undoubtedly a masterpiece brought by the combination of Cognitive Grammar and Stylistics. * Cognitive Linguistic Studies *
