Essential Reading
This introductory text book is a must-have for anyone interested in the fairly specialised area of cognitive poetics, literary linguistics, or simply the reading process in general.It breaks down its topic into concept based chapters that include practical application. These chapters cover figure and ground, prototypes, deixis, cognitive grammar, scripts & schema, discourse worlds, text worlds etc.Stockwell's mapping out of the field as it is emerging is both fascinating to read and relatively easy to understand. I would recommend this to most undergraduates, as well as postgraduates who want a comprehensive introduction to the field.

Fantastic Resource for University Students
A fantastic resource for any students studying the expansive field of Cognitive Poetics. Stockwell presents challenging concepts in a comprehensive format, breaking down the theory and providing clear examples before a deeper analysis.The range of texts manipulated as examples ensures that this book, despite it being focused on theory, is a pleasure to read and easily accessible for the University student!
