Abstract
The study aims to provide a historical review of the onset and modification of a new philological discipline of an integrative type, i.e. cognitive poetics, also known as cognitive stylistics in some research. Scientific novelty lies in taking a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to the interpretation of the term “poetics” (which is currently being analysed in the cognitive light); the science, as has been verified, follows in the footsteps of Aristotelian poetics, borrows certain tenets from the Russian Formalism school of thought and Structural Linguistics and achieves relative completion in the works of cognitive poeticians M. Freeman, P. Stockwell, J. Gavins, E. Semino and others at the turn of the century. As a result, it has been found that cognitive poeticians endeavour to conceive of the cognitive mechanisms that precede the formation of a literary text by the author, alongside the study of possible cognitive phenomena that, arguably, predefine the perception and interpretation of a given literary piece by another cognising mind, that of a reader.
