- This book critically engages with the complex theoretical model Cognitive Grammar (CG) and outlines its potential as a stylistic framework. The book presents a series of exemplary extended analyses of a range of contemporary texts, which draw on and examine a number of key concepts from the original CG theory. It argues that a CG analysis enables exploration of grammatical constructions and their impact on reader interpretation in a way that is psychologically grounded and intuitive. This publication is the first sustained application of CG for text analysis and is a seminal text in this burgeoning area.
