The Iconicity of Style in Contemporary Science Fiction
Science fiction has its origins alongside literary modernism but developed its characteristic generic style in a different direction for most of its history. More recently, science fiction has increasingly converged stylistically with mainstream literary writing, adopting some of its patterns particularly around the articulation of consciousness and perspective. However, the genre-basis of science fiction means that it is likely that readers will…
The Poem as Icon
Many of the certainties that we were trained in, both in literary studies and in linguistics, have been falling away over the last few years. The questioning of arbitrariness, one of the key and apparently unshakeable foundations of modern linguistics, has been the most challenging and revelatory shift. In critical literary studies, there has been a long-standing, core acceptance that form and meaning were randomly separate, at every level of lan…
Literary dialect as social deixis
The representation of non-standard and regional accent and dialect in literary fiction has been framed mainly sociolinguistically and treated as an index of authenticity, within an account of characterisation. The reader’s attitude to such speakers in literary fiction is manipulated narratorially and authorially. Since readerly effects, impressions and evaluations are the key issues involved, it seems plausible that a cognitive poetic approach to…
The Archaeology of Afghanistan
An updated and revised edition of a classic text on the archaeology of AfghanistanAfghanistan is at the cultural crossroads of Asia, where the great civilisations of Mesopotamia and Iran, South Asia and Central Asia overlapped and sometimes conflicted. Its landscape embraces environments from the high mountains of the Hindu Kush to the Oxus basin and the great deserts of Sistan; trade routes from China to the Mediterranean, and from Central Asia …
The Poetics of Science Fiction
The Poetics of Science Fiction uniquely uses the science of linguistics to explore the literary universe of science fiction. Developing arguments about specific texts and movements throughout the twentieth-century, the book is a readable discussion of this most popular of genres. It also uses the extreme conditions offered by science fiction to develop new insights into the language of the literary context. The discussion ranges from a detailed i…

Cartographies of cognitive poetics
The founder of Cognitive Poetics, Reuven Tsur, has seen his project broaden and evolve over the last quarter-century. Some of these developments run counter to Tsur’s continuing thinking, and he has been critical of some of the work that now goes under the name ‘cognitive poetics’. This paper is partly a response to criticisms made by Tsur specifically in relation to Stockwell’s work, and partly a more general defence of the broad discipline as i…
