COGNITIVE STYLISTICS ISSUES

Abstract

Cognitive stylistics stands out for its unique methodology, in which linguistic analyses in a systemic context are based on theories that link linguistic choices to cognitive structures and processes. Cognitive stylistics is a subsection of linguistics that studies the relationship between language and cognitive processes such as perception, comprehension, remembering and thinking. It aims to identify how cognitive mechanisms influence linguistic phenomena such as text structure, choice of linguistic devices, use of metaphors, metonymy and other linguistic techniques.
