Annotation:

In this talk, I address how the application of cognitive linguistics may help in analyzing the poetic effect of literary texts, the so-called cognitive poetics. On top of that, I introduce the use of parallel texts as a method for comparing poetic effects across languages, when humans try to express the same content in different languages.
