STYLISTIC MECHANISMS OF KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION IN LITERARY TEXTS

Abstract: In contemporary cognitive linguistics, increasing attention is being paid to the issues of knowledge representation and the mechanisms of its linguistic objectification. Despite the considerable number of studies devoted to stylistic devices, their cognitive potential as mechanisms for representing, organizing, and transforming knowledge remains insufficiently explored. Examining stylistic devices from the perspective of cognitive stylistics offers a new understanding of the processes of conceptualization, meaning construction, and interpretation in literary texts.
