Salih bin Al-Hadi Ramadan's 'Literary Communication: From Pragmatics to Cognition' offers a profound exploration into the evolving theories of literary understanding. This groundbreaking work meticulously traces the trajectory from traditional pragmatic approaches, which focus on context and reader-text interaction, towards more contemporary cognitive perspectives. Ramadan skillfully illuminates how cognitive science provides new lenses through which to analyze literary reception, interpretation, and the mental processes involved in engaging with texts. The book delves into concepts such as schema theory, cognitive poetics, and the neurological underpinnings of literary experience, providing an indispensable resource for scholars and students interested in the interdisciplinary nature of literary studies and the mind.
