“…The understanding of a work of verbal art is a step-by-step process which is borne out by the well-known principle of the theory of cognition insisting on the process of cognition being a gradual one (Gasparyan, 2019).…”

It is common knowledge that reading literature in the proper sense of the word is rather difficult as it presupposes the ability of the reader not to confine one’s perception to what can be seen on the surface of the text only. The reader’s ability to go deep into the text and reveal the intention of the writer is of prime importance. Many prominent philologists both in our country and abroad have referred to this question, and their investigations have established that the real understanding of a piece of verbal creativity is a step by step process and can be achieved only gradually. This, in fact, is the underlying methodological bases of the present research which aims at studying the use of epithets in O’Henry’s short stories and their role in the linguopoetic organization of the stories. Of particular investigative interest have turned out to be The Last Leaf and The Gift of Magi.

“…Literary language is an innovative variation on the ordinary norms of language use, at lexical, syntactical, cognitive, aesthetic levels. Significant variations in literature occur at micro and macro levels, and of course all of these levels must be examined in literary interpretation, as suggested by Seda Gasparyan's recent writings (Gasparyan 2019;.…”

This essay wishes to engage with the crucial issue of the interpretation of literary texts from the specific perspective of the rise of Cognitive Sciences in the past two or three decades. One of the stimulating, but also controversial elements of Cognitive Literary Studies is the variety of denominations of the field itself. Different labels have been adopted to define it, including: “Cognitive Poetics”, “Cognitive Semiotics”, “Cognitive Stylistics”, “Cognitive Literary Studies”, “Cognitive Criticism”, and “Cognitive Literary Science”. A crucial problem that has variously been dealt with but that still remains open to discussion (and has sometimes promoted a questioning of the usefulness of the neurosciences in the interpretation of literary works), is the problem of the affordances of a cognitive approach to the specificity of literary artifacts. This contribution will therefore address and investigate this timely topic and illustrate aspects of the dynamics of literary interpretation that the cognitive sciences have recently productively developed. In particular, it will focus on the following elements: various perspectives in “the neurohumanities”, “literariness and the brain”, “the respective contribution of the cognitive sciences and of literature to the knowledge of the human mind”.
