Beschreibung:
Professor Joanna Gavins is Chair in English Language and Literature at the University of Sheffield, where she teaches courses in cognitive linguistics and stylistics. She is the author of Text World Theory: An Introduction (Edinburgh University Press, 2007), Reading the Absurd (Edinburgh University Press, 2013), co-editor (with Gerard Steen) of Cognitive Poetics in Practice (Routledge, 2003), and co-editor (with Ernestine Lahey) of World Building: Discourse in the Mind (Bloomsbury, 2016). She is the Director of the Text World Theory Special Collection at the University of Sheffield and Editor of the John Benjamins Linguistic Approaches to Literature book series.
Text World Theory is a cognitive model of all human discourse processing. In this introductory textbook, Joanna Gavins sets out a usable framework for understanding mental representations. Text World Theory is explained using naturally occurring texts and real situations, including literary works, advertising discourse, the language of lonely hearts, horoscopes, route directions, cookery books and song lyrics. The book will therefore enable students, teachers and researchers to make practical use of the text-world framework in a wide range of linguistic and literary contexts.
