This concise volume addresses the question of whether or not
language, and its structure in literary discourses, determines
individuals' mental "vision," employing an innovative
cross-disciplinary approach using readers' drawings of their mental
imagery during reading. The book engages in critical dialogue with
the perceived wisdom in stylistics rooted in Roger Fowler's seminal
work on deixis and point of view to test whether or not this theory
can fully account for what readers see in their mind's eye and how
they see it. The work draws on findings from a study of English and
Dutch across a range of literary texts, in which participants read
literary text fragments and were then asked to immediately draw
representations of what they had seen envisioned. Building on the
work of Fowler and more recent theoretical and empirical
language-based studies in the area, Klomberg, Schilhab, and Burke
argue that models from embodied cognitive science can help account
for anomalies in evidence from readers' drawings, indicating new
ways forward for interdisciplinary understandings of individual
meaning construction in literary textual interfaces. This book will
be of interest to students and scholars in stylistics, cognitive
psychology, rhetoric, and philosophy, particularly those working in
the field of embodied cognition.
