Over the last 40 years the 'text-as-world' metaphor has become one of the most prevalent and productive means of describing the experiencing of producing and receiving discourse. This has been the case in a range of disciplines, including stylistics, cognitive poetics, narratology, discourse analysis and literary theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe metaphor has enabled analysts to formulate a variety of frameworks for describing and examining the textual and conceptual mechanics involved in human communication, articulating these variously through such concepts as 'possible worlds', 'text-worlds' and 'storyworlds'. Each of these key approaches shares an understanding of discourse as a logically grounded, cognitively and pragmatically complex phenomenon. Discourse in this sense is capable of producing highly immersive and emotionally affecting conceptual spaces in the minds of discourse participants.\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters examine how best to document and analyze this and this is an essential collection for stylisticians, linguists and narrative theorists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Gavins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350056065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350056060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.65d","brand":"Joanna Gavins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064555233535,"sku":"9781350056060","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c925c2dd-1729-432f-a016-c12ec055d523.jpg?v=1712124568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-building-joanna-gavins-9781350056060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
