Cognitive Poetry Best in the 1970s,Since the 21st century, it has become increasingly developed since the 21st century。Peter Stockville said in the Introduction to Cognitive Poetry: With cognitive linguistics、The rapid development of cognitive research such as cognitive psychology and literary criticism,Cognitive poetics also obtained new theoretical motivation,"Dawn to be happy and confident"。In China,Literature's cognitive research initially attracted the attention of academic circles with the rise of cognitive linguistics,In recent years, it has also caused the interests of many literary researchers。

The development of foreign cognitive poetics is developing rapidly、Excessive expansion but not fine enough,Chinese scholars have been thinking about the optimization of cognitive poetry theory and methodology system、Systematic and localized problems。I propose the concept of "more cognitive poetics",I hope to use this as an important path for the localization of cognitive poetics。but but,The more cognitive poetics we advocate are not just the "cognitive extension" of comparative literature or the simple addition of cognitive poetics and comparative literature,but a new research idea proposed based on the understanding of "cognition" and "comparison"。So,The relationship between "cognition" and "comparison" has also become a logical premise of more cognitive poetics。

First,Literary Activity -its creation and acceptance, etc.,All are more high -level cognitive activities of human beings。There is a view that there is a view is,"Since Aristotle has been descended,Poetics has always been cognitive. "。This description from one side,"Cognition" as a "problem" or "topic" is a phenomenon existing in literature,So Valera said that cognitive science has "a long past,But there is only a relatively short history "(" Body and Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience ")。"Long Past" refers to the "cognitive topic and problem expression" for a long time.,For example, "Zhou Yi" says "the sage is determined to do everything",In fact, it involves mental problems,It is also related to the important concept bet365 Play online games of modern cognitive linguistics "iconicality"; ",The view of the Yang is in the sky,Performing Perspective Fa in the Earth ","Take the body near,Take the things from afar ",Actually it is the personal cognitive method now。but,Whether it is the ancient Greek wise or the ancient Chinese sages,What they talk about are about "cognitive topics",But it is not a "cognitive research"。Research on cognitive poetics in the true sense,It should be based on the theory and research method based on modern cognitive science。

Next,"Comparison" is a basic cognitive strategy。Humans always try to use the least cognitive efforts and the least cognitive resources to obtain the maximum cognitive income,to ensure your own survival and development,Find as much as possible survival and development conditions,This requires more existing experience、Knowledge and Technology。In terms of academics,Any research and innovation contains comparisons。In literary research,Researchers do not deliberately compare or compare in most cases,But in fact always take comparison as a prerequisite for research,Because you need to avoid repeating the views and conclusions of others,When designing research plans and schemes,Efforts to understand the results of others have achieved,This implies comparison and comparison。

again,Cognitive research contains a prerequisite for comparison。Cognitive science must explore the mystery of mind,It is because of the existing human knowledge compared with the mental mystery,There are still many gaps in the meantime,and "gap" is the only thing that we perceive through comparison。So,Cognitive research A prominent methodological feature is comparison and comparison。The "comparison" characteristics of the cognitive attributes and cognitive research of literature are the logic premise of more cognitive poetry。Its theoretical assumptions are the universal consensus in cognitive science: the universality of cognition and the particularity of culture,That is, humans have a common cognitive device,But different regions、Culture in the ethnic and historical context is special。

Based on the above theoretical premise,We think,The basic meaning of more cognitive poetics is: literary comparative analysis and research based on cognitive science,The problems related to comparative literature (comparative poetics) bet365 best casino games are studied using theoretical and methods of cognitive science,At the same time,It also uses a comparison field and method to perform cognitive poetics research includes research cognitive poetics itself。At the methodology level,Comparison of cognitive poetics takes "comparison" as a kind of perspective and position,It is also used as a path and method; at the same time,"Cognition" as the theoretical foundation and interpretation framework,Also as the main research purpose or object。

  Expansion of poetic research methods

There are three main research methods of more cognitive poetics,Read it carefully、Experiment and investigation (such as questionnaire、Interview, etc.),Different methods have different research purposes and research objects。The "careful reading" of cognitive poetics is not exactly equivalent to new criticism and generally referred to,It emphasizes linguistics, especially the language guidance effect and the necessity and purpose of cognitive analysis。For example, the character dialogue of analyzing Jane Austen novels,Cognitive Poetics Requirement Linguistics、Sports and other tools to go to fine products、Conduct of the clue given by the text,Then discover text connotation through cognitive analysis。This can be summarized as "language introduction+cognitive analysis"。And more cognitive poetics must further compare cognitive comparison: one is to choose works in the same culture or civilized circle for cognitive comparison,For example, Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Gascar,or cognitive comparison of dialogue with George Sang novels。The other is to compare it with the works in the same culture or civilization circle,For example, the cognitive comparison of the dialogue between Austin and Cao Xueqin or Yang Mo's novels。In research,The relevant cognitive principles can be used as graphics -background、Concept integration、Social cognition and many perspectives,Number of words of different works、distribution、presentation method、Cognitive arousing structure, etc. Cognitive comparison analysis。

Experiment and investigation is mainly for "reading",It aims to provide evidence for the interpretation of a certain literary activity or literary phenomenon。It is not discussed the meaning of text,Instead, it is compared to examine how readers accept text、Affected by text、What reaction to the text。For Bet365 app download example,American scholar Natali Philips used the "functional magnetic resonance imaging" technology to researched the reader's neurotransmid when reading the Austin novel "Persuasion",What kind of cognitive mode will appear when reading people with different attention。Research indicates,In the face of an art work (novel、Poetry、Music、Drama、Painting、Movie, etc.),The style and degree of our own attention can greatly change our investment in our objects,This is not limited to the subjective aesthetic experience level,And it will also be displayed at the cognitive level through a unique neurological mode ("" "Foreign Literature Research" Cognitive Steering "comments"。

Except experiment,More cognitive poetics can also use survey methods to launch research。For example,You can use the freedom listing method during the survey,Let the subject a novel that is most familiar with,Words (instead of sentences) arbitrarily list its impression and evaluation of the content and meaning of the novel。"Freedom list" is one of the methods of cognitive research on surveys,It can truly reflect the subject's mental activity of the subject for specific topics。

  Rich comparison research type

Comparison of cognitive poetics has four main "comparison" research types,At the same time, this is also the main research object of more cognitive poetics。

1 is to cognitive poetic genres、Comparison study between paradigms。Generally referred to as cognitive poetics,refers to the "classic" cognitive poetics or "narrow" cognitive poetics represented by Israel Ruwen Chur and Britain Peter Stockwell。Actually,There are more literary cognitive studies in the name of "cognitive poetics"。The more popular name of these studies is "Cognitive Literature Research",Mainly the United States。Stockwell's cognitive poetry is based on cognitive linguistics and cognitive psychology,Following the tradition of literary and physical,mainly belongs to the text analysis of form orientation,Rely on reading in detail,Less experiment and survey; Chur's cognitive poetry is based on psychology and acoustics,Focus on poetic rhythm and rhythm analysis,The main purpose is to explore human poetry ability,That is "the ability to produce poetry structure and understand its effect" ("Towards the Theory of Cognitive Poetry")。Comparison of comparison,Cognitive Literature Research bet365 live casino games mainly relies on culture、Evolution Theory and Neuroscience,Do not rule out cognitive linguistics、Cognitive Psychology and other theoretical methods,The research field is much wider,Focus on carefully reading,Methods of experiments and surveys more。Different purposes and orientations、A cognitive poetry genre with different research methods for comparative research,helps deepen the understanding of these genres,By better drawing on the strengths of each family,I used it for me。

The second is the comparison of literary cognitive research and non -recognition research。General literary principles discussion or work analysis will not be as conscious as cognitive research、Fully consider cognitive issues,I will not use the theory of cognitive、Perspective and method Related research。So,Comparison of cognitive research on literature,It can show the characteristics and academic value of literary cognitive research more clearly。Taking the comparison of cognitive realism and realism as an example,Traditional realist concepts are mostly for writers and works,I rarely pay attention to readers,But Trusingco, who proposed "cognitive realism", believes,Can't ignore readers' cognitive activities。As far as the proposition of "real" is concerned,Traditional realisticism advocates "the phenomenon of things real",Therefore, it will ask such a question: "What makes a fictional text a realistic?" But cognitive realism asked: "What makes this fictional text seems realism for readers?" From the perspective of cognitive realism,Any fictional text because of its fiction,So it is not essentially "reality",But it may be "realistic" in the reader's cognition,The so -called "realism" refers to this cognitive effect。

Third is a cognitive analysis of the object of comparative research,Analysis and discussion of the research objects using cognitive science related theories and views in specific comparative research,Digging the potential art features of literary works from a cognitive perspective。For example,It is generally considered,Austin doesn’t care much about the presentation of the environment,Then compare her with other British writers, especially female writers, especially female writers (this is not a cognitive research),and from a cognitive perspective (or cognitive bet365 best casino games analysis,or cognitive experiments and empirical) Perform comparative analysis,This is the more cognitive research。Cognitive comparative research discovery,Austin just did not deliberately present the macro environment and physical space,But she is very concerned about social space,Because she is concerned about the characters instead of action,The conversation of the character becomes the core element of the work。From a cognitive perspective,A large number of dialogue descriptions first help create true and credible scenes and shape fresh characters。Because there are very few environmental details,Readers have to work hard to construct a story situation based on various clues,I have to immerse in the conversation between the characters,From this,Character dialogue will lead the reader to social space。The cognitive analysis and experimental method here are inspiration and reference from cognitive psychology research,Obviously it can make research more credible、More deep。

Fourth is the cognitive comparison of different cultural/civilized literature。On the basis of different characteristics of different cultural phenomena or forms of comparative literature,,can also further explore the cause of its cognitive level (that is, with biological、Physiology、Environment、Factors such as closely related factors)。This pushes comparative literary research to in -depth。For example,Huo Gen, a scholar of American Cognitive Literature Research, believes in "Emotional narrative: The Emotional Structure of the Story",There are three universal narrative prototypes: sacrifice、Heroes and Romantic Love。But these prototypes can only be said to be the prototype of Western narrative literature,They may not be applicable for Chinese literature, especially Chinese classical literature,At least not a typical representative。More cognitive poetics can climb Chinese literary works,Looking for its narrative prototype,Then, from the perspective of cultural cognition, evolution and literary development, it will compare it with other Chinese literature,It can also be supplemented by experiments and surveys,Examine the aesthetic tendency and preference of Chinese readers,To provide first -hand materials for research literature's universality and cultural specialty propositions。

In the field of cognitive Bet365 lotto review poetics,The gap between China and foreign countries is small,The research of Chinese scholars has its own characteristics,More cognitive poetics can further improve theoretical construction,Strengthen research features,Gradually form a relative advantage。This is conducive to the integration of Chinese cognitive poetic research into the world cognitive poetics、In the study of comparative literature and worldist poetics,Promote equal dialogue between Chinese and foreign scholars,At the same time, it is also conducive to promoting the in -depth development of Chinese literature and cultural research,better serving national cultural construction。
