book-chapterSenior authorStylistics has long claimed to be an empirical method of literary analysis. One aspect of this empiricism is stylistics’ commitment to studying the effect of texts on readers. In this chapter, the authors give a selective overview of literary linguistic research into real readers, focusing on two aspects: experimental approaches to foregrounding and its effect on readers, and recent research undertaken by stylisticians into natural reading environments such as the book group. They suggest some f…
Good Word! Vocabulary, Style and Coherence in Children's Writing
2025-11-24
book-chapter1st authorCorrespondingVocabulary is a relatively neglected area of writing development. The focus for much recent work within the framework of ‘language in education’ has been on either syntax, cohesion or situational context in different writing activities. Vocabulary, or lexis, as some linguists prefer to call it, has similarly been a relatively neglected area in linguistics. Again the focus has been largely on syntax and, more recently, on discourse. Yet, for most teachers, vocabulary is important. For better or w…
A Distinct Role for Perceived Realism in Juror Decision Making
2025-02-21
preprintOpen accessThe decision-making process of jurors is complex, and jurors likely retrieve personal information and knowledge to make sense of the case. We test the hypothesis that perceived realism underpins case strength decisions, where realism reflects a good match between the case and retrieved information. To assess how realism affects juror decisions, jury-eligible subjects (N = 83) read mock criminal cases, rating the strength of each case. Participants also reported their ability to recall a similar…
A Distinct Role for Perceived Realism in Juror Decision Making
2025-11-06
articleOpen accessJurors evaluate evidence in a case based on their common sense and experience, implicating some form of memory. Cognitive psychologists traditionally study explicit memory in episodic and semantic forms. However, juror decision making researchers emphasize narrative models in which jurors evaluate how realistic the proposed story is compared to real world events. To assess how perceived realism and explicit recall affect juror decisions, jury-eligible subjects (N = 83) read mock criminal cases,…
