认知文体学的回顾和展望:历史沿革、研究方法和发展趋势

Review and prospect of cognitive stylistics: historical evolution, research methods and development trends

文学研究于20世纪70年代发生了认知转向。认知语言学家将文学语言纳入研究范畴,认知文体学应运而生。本文通过综述和分析过往研究,明确而系统地阐述了认知文体学研究的历史沿革、研究方法和发展趋势。据此认为,认知文体学研究者们从认知的角度构建了一种系统的文学理论,将认知文体学研究纳入研究身体体验的神经学科范畴,能够更加全面地分析人物的认知方式,更为系统地阐释读者阅读文学作品的认知机制。

Literary research has undergone a cognitive turn in the 1970 s. Cognitive Stylistics emerged when cognitive linguists incorporate literary language into the research field. By reviewing and analyzing the past studies, this paper clearly and systematically expounds the historical evolution, research methods and development trend of Cognitive Stylistics. Accordingly, it is argued that: Cognitive stylistic researchers construct a systematic literary theory from a cognitive perspective, incorporating cognitive stylistics into the neurological field of embodied experience, and analyzing more comprehensively the cognitive mode of characters, and explain systematically the cognitive mechanism of readers’ reading literary works.
