The editors‘ general introduction provides an overview of the field, and each chapter begins with an editors‘ introduction to set the chapter in context. Specifically designed sections suggesting further activities for students are also provided at the end of each case study. Cognitive Poetics in Practice can be used on its own or as a companion volume to Peter Stockwell’s Cognitive Poetics: An Introduction.
