THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE FRAMES IN SHAPING NARRATIVE STRUCTURES: A STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH FICTION

Аннотация

Annotation: Stylistic processes in literature play a crucial role in shaping the 
aesthetic, emotional, and intellectual impact of literary texts. This article explores the 
significance  of  stylistic  processes  from  a  cognitive  perspective,  examining  how 
language choices, narrative techniques, and linguistic devices contribute to the reader's 
understanding and interpretation of literary works. By employing cognitive theories of 
language and perception, we delve into the intricate ways in which stylistic elements 
engage  readers'  mental  faculties,  evoke  imagery,  and  elicit  emotional  responses. 
Through  examples  drawn  from  various  literary  genres  and  periods,  this  article 
illustrates the diverse manifestations of stylistic processes and their profound influence 
on literary meaning and reception.
