In this study, Jennifer Riddle Harding presents a cognitive
analysis of three figures of speech that have readily identifiable
forms: similes, puns, and counterfactuals. Harding argues that when
deployed in literary narrative, these forms have narrative
functions-such as the depiction of conscious experiences,
allegorical meanings, and alternative plots-uniquely developed by
these more visible figures of speech. Metaphors, by contrast, are
often "invisible" in the formal structure of a text. With a solid
cognitive grounding, Harding's approach emphasizes the relationship
between figurative forms and narrative effects. Harding
demonstrates the literary functions of previously neglected figures
of speech, and the potential for a unified approach to a topic that
crosses cognitive disciplines. Her work has implications for the
rhetorical approach to figures of speech, for cognitive
disciplines, and for the studies of literature, rhetoric, and
narrative.
