Description

This book illustrates how an original, simple but philosophically potent idea is developed into a theory for the human sciences -- covering philosophy, logic, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, morality, religion, neurology, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, and education. A structured Glossary provides a roadmap to navigate these complexities. This revolutionary idea -- a trichotomy of knowledge, a three-fold division which includes everything that could ever be considered knowledge in the context of how the brain treats knowledge -- leads to theories of truth/affidence, value, the semantics of literature, modality, style and fictionality. Literary studies are divided into semantics of literature -- historical research which includes experimental inquiry into the act of poetic creation; and semics -- the study of reading acts: these components are further sub-divided within a modal theory, and arguments presented that venture beyond literature in exploring some of the cognitive problems which literary semantics raises. In the chapter Practical Semics, the author -- as The Chaucer Man, a professional performer in Middle English of Chaucer's works develops frame theory to analyse a passage from The Miller's Tale, arguing that received modal-verb categories cannot cope with the layers of fictionality in The Canterbury Tales. Trevor Eaton's theory led to the founding of Journal of Literary Semantics, now in its 37th volume. The Fifth Conference of the International Association of Literary Semantics is to take place at the University of Genoa in 2010. This volume demonstrates conclusively how literary semantics can throw light on and organize the theory of literature. A final chapter presents a formal document for discussion offered to readers of the Journal (founded by Eaton in 1972, and published by Mouton de Gruyter). The author then responds to two critiques of the document, made by distinguished linguists.
