I fucking love you! Emotional address in Fleabag, or how viewers’ empathy becomes voyeurism Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Julie Neveux
This paper examines the effects of emotional language and telecinematic direct address in the BBC television series Fleabag (2016–2019) on viewers’ empathetic engagement, showing how multimodal narratives can invite empathy. In this series, direct address, often used to create intimacy with the audience, is the vehicle through which the eponymous protagonist shares or does not share her emotional states

“The unlikeliest twins”: the role of intertextual foregrounding and defamiliarisation in creating empathy in Meursault, contre-enquête Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Tatyana Karpenko-Seccombe
Kamel Daoud’s debut novel Meursault, contre-enquête is a recasting of Camus’ seminal novel, L’Étranger. Daoud creates an overt and deliberate set of intertextual references to Camus’ text by describing the same events from the point of view of the brother of the nameless ‘Arab’ murdered by Meursault in L’Étranger. Thus the differences in character and event presentation are defamiliarised and foregrounded

The role of pathetic fallacy in shaping narrative empathy Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Fransina Stradling, Kimberley Pager-McClymont
One way in which character emotion is communicated in texts is through pathetic fallacy (PF), a figure of speech that projects emotions onto surroundings, which can be conceptualised in terms of variations on the conceptual metaphor emotion is surroundings. This article explores the empathetic affordances of this emotion metaphor, presenting evidence for the ways readers exploit the linguistic forms

Connecting with the world: poetic synaesthesia, sensory metaphors and empathy Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Laure-Hélène Anthony-Gerroldt
Many poems rely on sensory lexis and metaphors, making them amenable to the readerly experience of sensory overlap or fusion that characterizes synaesthesia. Such sensory language can be considered a way to connect with our emotions and bodies, since our bodily experiences directly influence and control many of our other experiences. Synaesthetic metaphors can thus be related to empathy via embodiment

Exploring the potential of sentiment analysis for the study of negative empathy Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Carmen Bonasera
In connection to literature, negative empathy is a sophisticated form of narrative empathy with fictional characters portrayed as markedly evil and seductive at the same time. Several studies on narrative engagement have explored negative empathy mainly from a theoretical perspective. Conversely, empirical approaches have rarely delved into the dynamics of the linguistic construction of the texts studied

From witness to accomplice: the manipulation of readers’ empathy through consciousness representation in Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Juliette Bourget
Within the field of narrative empathy studies, the concept of “negative empathy,” meaning a sharing of emotions with morally negative characters, has become increasingly discussed. Through the examination of The Talented Mr Ripley (1955) by Patricia Highsmith, this article contributes new insights into narratological and stylistic devices eliciting readers’ empathy. This study analyses responses from

Introduction: stylistic approaches to narrative empathy Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Carolina Fernandez-Quintanilla, Fransina Stradling
This article introduces the special issue by outlining the current state of research into the role of textual-linguistic features in eliciting narrative empathy. Firstly, we address the complexities around defining the term ‘narrative empathy’ and provide some definitional criteria. We then review the ways in which the role of language in narrative empathy has been studied to date in narratology, literary

“Insistent as anesthetic”: difficult similes subserving the poetic context Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Roi Tartakovsky, Yeshayahu Shen
Previous research has identified a type of nonstandard simile in which the ground is a non-salient feature of the source term (for example, the nonstandard hard as a lamp as opposed to the standard hard as a rock), and found this type to be common in poetry and much rarer in non-poetic discourse. Since these nonstandard similes entail a fundamental semantic breach and violation of a basic convention

Plotting and characterisation in Sophie Hannah’s The Other Half Lives: a cognitive stylistic approach Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Christiana Gregoriou
(Sophie Hannah’s. 2009. The Other Half Lives. London: Hodder). The Other Half Lives both complies with, and departs from, the crime fiction formula or text schema. It features a mystery the specifics of which are unravelled non-chronologically, while its numerous crimes and non-ideal criminals and victims disrupt readers’ world schemas and help enable its surprising effects. Not unlike such fiction

Textual attractors in literary discourse: a cognitive-poetic reading of Elizabeth Bowen’s “Oh, Madam . . .” Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Anna Kędra-Kardela, Andrzej Sławomir Kowalczyk
This article offers a cognitive-poetic analysis of Elizabeth Bowen’s short story “Oh, Madam . . .” (1941), a war-time story set in a London house partly damaged during the Blitz. This literary text includes numerous gaps in the form of ellipsis, dashes, and unfinished sentences, inviting the reader into filling them as a part of reading experience. The analysis critically applies Peter Stockwell’s

Text World Theory and situation-model research: enhancing validity and tracking world-retrievals Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Alison Gibbons
When Paul Werth invented the concept of ‘text-worlds’ (1999), he drew on existing psychological accounts of how the mind processes stimuli, such as the idea of the ‘situation model’ (van Dijk and Kintsch 1983). Yet despite the important advancements to Werth’s approach that have been made in stylistics over the years, situation-model research is rarely, if ever, referenced in what is now called Text

A perfect match? A semiotic analysis of the wife figure in four early picaresque novels Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Luigi Gussago
Picaresque fiction, or the so-called tale of roguery, focuses mainly on the adventures of a male protagonist. Although women characters rarely take the lead, they mark significant transitions in the narrative syntax. Mothers, wives, and lovers reject stereotypical role models and are invested with the potential of initiating the picaro to his life stages. This study will concentrate on the wife as

Bodily involvement in readers’ online book reviews: applying Text World Theory to examine absorption in unprompted reader response Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-09-28 Moniek M. Kuijpers
David Miall was, for many scholars, the person welcoming them into the field of empirical literary studies. The research he conducted together with Don Kuiken on the effects of stylistic features on reading, with a central role for (self-modifying) feeling (cf. Miall, David S. & Don Kuiken. 1994.

The affective allure – a phenomenological dialogue with David Miall’s studies of foregrounding and feeling Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-09-28 Paul Sopcak, Don Kuiken
This paper attempts to rescue the notion of foregrounding from the prevailing focus on defamiliarization. It does so by engaging in a phenomenological dialogue with David Miall’s account of foregrounding and feeling and Viktor Shklovsky’s discussion of literary device and aesthetic function. In particular, it contextualizes Miall’s proposal of the response to foregrounding as a feeling-guided process

Operationalizing perpetrator studies. Focusing readers’ reactions to The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-09-28 Julia de Jonge, Serena Demichelis, Simone Rebora, Massimo Salgaro
Within the field of Holocaust Studies the last decade has witnessed a turn to the figure of the perpetrator, who had hitherto received little attention due to ethical, legal and psychological reasons. A similar turn can also be observed in connection with the study of empathy. In this context, the concept of “negative empathy,” intended as a sharing of emotions with morally negative fictional characters

Frame shifting and fictive motion in Shelley’s poetic sublime Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-09-28 Mark J. Bruhn
In a key article on “Foregrounding and the sublime” (2007), David S. Miall outlined a stylistic as opposed to representational approach to the sublime in verbal art, focusing not on the object or scene that provokes sublime experience but instead on forms of poetic language that may evoke an analogously sublime experience in the reader. Miall theorized that such forms would be foregrounding devices

‘Made the absence shout’: paradox as iconoclasm in Toni Morrison’s Beloved Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-04-03 Brendon K. Vayo
In 1856, Margaret Garner murdered one child, and attempted to murder three others, rather than return them to slavery. Despite the impact traumas like Garner’s had on abolition, history largely forgets or ignores these gruesome details. In their place come racialist markers that obscure Garner’s likeness. Thomas Satterwhite Noble’s The Modern Medea, for example, depicts Garner with a head wrap and

Possible worlds theory, accessibility relations, and counterfactual historical fiction Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-04-03 Riyukta Raghunath
Possible Worlds Theory has commonly been invoked to describe fictional worlds and their relationship to the actual world. As an approach to genre, the relationship between fictional worlds and the actual world is also constitutive of specific text types. By drawing on the notion of accessibility relations, different genres can be classified based on the distance between their fictional worlds and the

How do characters perceive their world? Representation of perception from traditional past-tense narrative to contemporary present-tense narrative Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-04-03 Eri Shigematsu
This paper investigates representation of perception in the novel. While many critics have great interests in the conceptual level of consciousness, namely characters’ thoughts, they have paid little attention to the perceptual level of consciousness. Characters’ perceptions are important, as they often lead to their cognitive activities, making up their experiences described in narrative. The narrative

A corpus-based approach to mind style Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Dan McIntyre, Dawn Archer
Fowler's (Linguistics and the novel, Methuen, 1977) original definition of mind style emphasised consistency as a defining feature of the phenomenon, something that is (i) difficult to measure, and (ii) often missed in qualitative analyses. In this paper we investigate how a computational semantic analysis might be used to address this difficulty, with particular reference to McIntyre's (Journal of

The rhetorical neuroscience of style: On the primacy of style elements during literary discourse processing Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Michael Burke
Much work has been conducted in the social psychological sciences both modelling and predicting how the storage and retrieval of images and words in the mind operate (e.g. Baddeley 1974, 2000, Damasio 1999, Barsalou 1999). The focus has largely been on the interactions between short-term and long-term regions of memory. Such studies have also on occasion been complemented by behavioural experiments

Reframed narrativity in literary translation: an investigation of the explicitation of cohesive chains Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2021-10-04 Xi Li, Long Li
Explicitation is a key concept in translation studies referring to turning what is implicitly narrated in a source text into explicit narration in a target text; it has been widely studied from different aspects across language pairs and genres. However, while most previous studies investigate explicitation through a few indicators of explicitness, most of which are specific logical links and connectives

Subjective time, place, and language in Lisa Gorton’s The Life of Houses Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2021-10-04 Isabelle Wentworth
Fiction has often shown that our sense of time can be affected by the spaces and things around us. In particular, the houses in which characters live can make the passing of time dilate, accelerate, even to seem to skip or stop. These interactions between place and time may represent more than metaphor or literary artifice, but rather genuine cognitive processes of embodied subjective time. This is

Locating stylistics in the discipline of English studies: a case study analysis of A.E. Housman’s ‘From Far, from Eve and Morning’ Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2021-10-04 Andrew Goatly
Literary stylistics, whose subject matter is literary language, straddles the disciplines of literary criticism and linguistics, as Henry Widdowson pointed out 45 years ago. Since then, developments in discourse analysis and multimodal studies have had the potential to expand the map of the interactions between different disciplines. This case study performs a traditional stylistic analysis of the

Metaphorical thinking in our literary experiences of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2021-04-01 Carina Rasse, Raymond W. Gibbs
This article explores how literary texts, in this case the novel “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, elicit metaphorical thinking as a major part of readers’ interpretive experiences. Our main argument is that metaphorical thinking does not arise only given our encounter with individual verbal metaphors, but emerges in various ways as part of our habitual forms of imaginative metaphorical understandings

The event semantics of conjuncts in ‘The Sun Also Rises’ Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2021-04-01 Aleksandar Trklja
The present paper explores the semantics of Hemingway’s ‘plain style’ in The Sun Also Rises by combining corpus linguistic methodology with event semantics theory. The focus of the study is on how the narrator of the novel segments experienced situations in terms of semantic events. Corpus linguistic analysis shows that the ‘plain style’ of the narrative section of the novel is realized by means of

Taking as a starting point Banfield’s ‘empty centre’ technique, the article re-evaluates the difficulties posed by this phenomenon and develops a more thorough and a sounder understanding of ‘the empty centre’. Some of the evidence for a new theory of ‘empty centre’ passages comes from pragmatics and

Literary meaning as character conceptualization: Re-orienting the cognitive stylistic analysis of character discourse and Free Indirect Thought Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2020-10-01 Eric Rundquist
This article establishes the theoretical bases for a more direct and detailed exploration of fictional minds in cognitive stylistics. This discipline usually analyzes narrative discourse in terms of how readers process language and conceptualize narrative meaning, treating literary language more or less explicitly as a window into readers’ mental experiences. However, it is also possible to treat literary

The tragic in Greek drama and conceptual blending Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2020-10-01 Georgios Ioannou
This paper examines the tragic sense permeating ancient Greek drama as a product of a special type of conceptual integration between two antithetic mental spaces, which prompts the simultaneous generation of two mutually exclusive emergent structures. The special tragic sense generated carries along the inferences of two equally impossible situations. The key-difference between this type of blend and

Emotion metaphors in James Joyce’s A Portrait of the artist as a young man Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2020-04-26 Florencia Reali
Abstract Cognitive stylistics provides a framework for analysis of conceptual metaphors in literature, as a way to approach fictional characters’ mind styles. Here, cognitive linguistic tools are applied to characterize the metaphorical expressions of emotion in James Joyce’s A portrait of the artist as a young man. A number of conceptual metaphors were identified in relation to anger, lust, shame

Multisensory perception and tactile metaphors for voice in the work of Herta Müller Journal of Literary Semantics Pub Date : 2019-10-25 Pavlo Shopin
Abstract In this article, I examine tactile metaphors for voice in the work of Herta Müller. I use conceptual metaphor theory and consider the process of multisensory perception to argue that tactile metaphors can activate multiple senses. Müller evokes tactile experience to reason about voice in her works. These seemingly modality-specific metaphors relate voice to more than one sensory impression
