Pedagogical Stylistics: Cognitive Stylistic Analysis of Simon’s The Sound of Silence
Abstract
The study is concerned with the exploration of cognitive stylistic in the Simon’s The sound of silence in order to highlight the deployment of different cognitive stylistic devices and use of mental processes on the understanding of meaning. These mental spaces help in establishing grammar that shows the poet's view. They are connected and used not only for perspective understanding but also used to represent dynamic plot in the perception and language. For a detailed analysis of textual features, this study draws on Text World Theory (Werth, 1999; Gavins, 2007), but also integrates some aspects of Cognitive Grammar (Langacker, 2008). The article pays particular attention to the way Gaiman frames his narrative and positions his reader to view the fictional events from a distinctive vantage point and how such writing is designed with a particular readership in mind.
