A few words from Elena Semino & Jonathan Culpeper
Cognitive stylistics is a rapidly expanding field at the interface between linguistics, literary studies and cognitive science. Cognitive stylistics combines the kind of explicit, rigorous and detailed linguistic analysis of literary texts that is typical of the stylistics tradition with a systematic and theoretically informed consideration of the cognitive structures and processes that underlie the production and reception of language. Cognitive stylistics, as we have just defined it, is both old and new. It is old in the sense that, in focusing on the relationship between linguistic choices and effects, stylistics has always been concerned with both texts and readers’interpretations of texts. It is important to remember, for example, that Foregrounding theory (Mukarˇovsky 1970), which played a major role in the development of modern Anglo-American stylistics, is concerned with thecognitive effects of particular linguistic choices and patterns (and this in spite of the fact that it stemmed from a school known as Formalism). It is therefore no coincidence that van Peer’s seminal book on the empirical investigation of foregrounding theory was entitled Stylistics and Psychology: Investigations of foregrounding (van Peer 1986). Similarly, work in stylistics has been influencedby theoretical and methodological advances in Reader Response Criticism (e.g.Fish 1973) and the Empirical Study of Literature (e.g. Short and van Peer 1988).Traditional stylistic analysis, however, tends to make use of linguistic theories or frameworks in order to explain or predict interpretation. What is new about cognitive stylistics is the way in which linguistic analysis is systematically based on theories that relate linguistic choices to cognitive structures and processes.This provides more systematic and explicit accounts of the relationship betweentexts on the one hand and responses and interpretations on the other.
