Making Sense of Narrative Text: Situation, Repetition, and Picturing in the Reading of Short Stories

This book takes the following question as its starting point: What are some of the crucial things the reader must do in order to make sense of a literary narrative? The book is a study of the texture of narrative fiction, using stylistics, corpus linguistic principles (especially Hoey’s work on lexical patterning), narratological ideas, and cognitive stylistic work by Werth, Emmott, and others. Michael Toolan explores the textual/grammatical nature of fictional narratives, critically re-examining foundational ideas about the role of lexical patterning in narrative texts, and also engages the cognitive or psychological processes at play in literary reading.

Quantum Linguistic Patterning: Volume 2

Quantum Linguistic Patterning brings together concepts in language understanding and quantum information processing into a unified methodology for rapid change work. This second volume extends the model of cognitions as quantum information systems to explore more complex techniques including parts integration, binds, presuppositions, hypnotic inductions, pattern interrupts and the quantum Zeno-effect. The processes utilise and exploit cognitive dissonance through simple language patterns tied to our maps of reality.
