Description

Explore the cognitive dimensions of language with Similes, Puns and Counterfactuals in Literary Narrative, part of the Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Stylistics. In this academic study, Jennifer Riddle Harding provides a detailed analysis of three specific figures of speech that possess readily identifiable forms. Unlike metaphors, which can often be invisible within a text's formal structure, similes, puns, and counterfactuals offer visible linguistic markers for study. Harding examines how these figures function within literary narratives to serve specific purposes. The text explores how these forms help depict conscious experiences, convey allegorical meanings, and present alternative plots. By utilizing a cognitive grounding, this book examines the relationship between figurative language and narrative structure. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in rhetoric, stylistics, and the way specific linguistic tools shape the reader's experience of a story.
