Narrative tension within the framework of cognitive modeling
Journal Title: Kognitsia, kommunikatsia, diskurs - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue
Abstract
This paper discusses cognitive linguistic foundations of narrative tension, defined as a particular way of story arrangement aimed at getting the reader’s immediate cognitive response, accompanied by intense excitement exposed through the emotional states of fearful apprehension (suspense), curiosity and surprise. Narrative tension, as a part of the general interpretation program possessed by a literary text, is incorporated into its narrative structure. Since research on narrative tension is still being launched, numerous aspects of its evoking and maintaining remain undisclosed so far. In this paper I propose an authentic methodology for cognitive modeling of narrative structure. Being a part of cognitive linguistic analysis of narrative tension incorporated in a narrative structure, cognitive modeling helps to conceptualize the complicated nature of the narrative proper, as well as to unify the principles of its studying.
