The Journal of Literary Semantics , founded by Trevor Eaton in 1972 and edited by him for thirty years, has pioneered and encouraged research into the relations between linguistics and literature. It is widely read by theoretical and applied linguists, narratologists, poeticians, philosophers and psycholinguists. JLS publishes articles on all aspects of literary semantics. The Journal of Literary Semantics is an international peer-reviewed journal that continues to have an important place in the intersecting worlds of literary semantics, cognitive poetics, and stylistics. The Journal aims to advance our understanding of the structures, dynamics, and significations of literary texts by publishing articles on theoretical and empirical research. This includes articles that relate the study of literature to other disciplines such as psychology and history, as well as articles dealing with pedagogy and other educational issues inherent in the study of literature. Central to each submission should be an engagement with the text (or texts) through the presentation, analysis and discussion of findings for original insights. We welcome submissions on the following topics.

It is widely read by theoretical and applied linguists, narratologists, poeticians, philosophers and psycholinguists. <EM>JLS</EM> publishes articles on all aspects of literary semantics. </P> <P></P> <P>The <EM>Journal of Literary Semantics</EM> is an international peer-reviewed journal that continues to have an important place in the intersecting worlds of literary semantics, cognitive poetics, and stylistics. The Journal aims to advance our understanding of the structures, dynamics, and significations of literary texts by publishing articles on theoretical and empirical research. This includes articles that relate the study of literature to other disciplines such as psychology and history, as well as articles dealing with pedagogy and other educational issues inherent in the study of literature. Central to each submission should be an engagement with the text (or texts) through the presentation, analysis and discussion of findings for original insights. </P> <P>We welcome submissions on the

<div class="row"> <div class="abstract col"> <h3>Abstract</h3> <div class="abstractContent"> This article explores the perception of comic timing effects in prose fiction and the involvement of this effect in a reader’s ability to recognise and appreciate humour. It suggests that the effect of comic timing, generally, results from perceived changes in pace rather than absolute timing. In a written text, a comic timing effect can be constructed linguistically through changes in perceived narrative urgency. In the passages analysed here, this change is from a state of impeded urgency, where textual features that encourage a sense of pace are combined with features that diminish this, to a state where the impediment to urgency is removed. This corresponds with and contributes to the reader’s sense of emergence from the text world, a positional shift that encourages their sense of sharing humour with the author. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="border-bottom" style="height: 1px"></div><div class="issueArticle"> <div class="modal" id='citationsModal101515_jls-2024-2008' tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-label='Cite this' data-retrievedfordoi="" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="d-none" id="citationsModalError" hidden="hidden" aria-hidden="true">Unable to retrieve citations for this document</div> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-xl" role="document"> <div class="modal-content bg-white"> <div class="modal-body"> <button type="button" class="btn-close float-end btn-modal-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label='Close'> </button> <div class="d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="spinner-border me-3" role="status" id="citationsModalSpinner" aria-hidden="true"> </div> Retrieving citations for document... </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='searchResult py-3'> <div class="searchResultContent w-100 issueEntry"> <div class="text-container"> <div> <span data-availabilitydoi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008"> <span class="notAvailable d-none"> <span class="d-none notAuthUserLoggedOut"> <span class="fa fas fa-icon-not-authorized pe-1"></span> <span class="accessRequireAuth">Requires Authentication</span> </span> <span class="d-none notAuthUserLoggedIn"> <span class="fa fas fa-icon-not-authorized"></span> <span class="accessRequireAuth">Unlicensed</span> </span> </span> <span class="contentAvailable d-none"><span class="fa fas fa-icon-authorized pe-1"></span><span class="accessAccessible">Licensed</span></span> </span> <span class="pubDate ms-2 metadataInfoMainContent">October 14, 2024</span> <div class="resultTitle"> <a class="issueContentsArticleLink linkHoverDark d-inline-block" data-doi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008" href="/document/doi/10.1515/jls-2024-2008/html"> <h4 class="titleSearchPageResult mb-0">The pragmatics of black–white conversations: Richard Wright’s representation of the African American experience</h4> </a> </div> <div class="resultMetadata"> <div class="contributors me-2 metadataAndContributorsFont">Yanwei Hu</div> <div> <span class="pageRange me-2 metadataAndContributorsFont"> Page range: 111-128 </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="searchResultActions mt-1 d-flex" data-batch-number="1" data-showaccessindicator="true" data-doi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008"> <a href="#details-2" class="btn btn-main-content me-2" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#details-2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="details-2"> More <span class="fa fas fa-down-dir"></span> </a> <button id='citationsModalButton101515_jls-2024-2008' type="button" class="btn btn-main-content ga_cite_this me-2" href='#citationsModal101515_jls-2024-2008' data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="[id^=citationsModal]" data-doi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008" aria-controls='citationsModal101515_jls-2024-2008'> Cite this </button> <span data-availabilitydoi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008"> <span class="contentAvailable d-none"> <a href="/document/doi/10.1515/jls-2024-2008/pdf" class="downloadPdf btn btn-main-content me-2 vgwort-click " data-doi="10.1515/jls-2024-2008" title='Download PDF'> <span class="">Download PDF</span> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class="collapse" id="details-2"> <div class="row"> <div class="abstract col"> <h3>Abstract</h3> <div class="abstractContent"> Richard Wright represents the African American experience of white racism in his novel Native Son and autobiography Black Boy . In the two works, Wright delves into the psychic effects of white racism on young African Americans. From a pragmatic perspective, this article analyzes the conversations between whites and young African Americans in the two works, with the aim of exploring how the conversations can impact on how the young African Americans think about reality and about themselves in relation to whites, that is, how whites attempt to form black subjectivity through conversation. The conversational mechanisms of the formation of black subjectivity are investigated by building on research in pragmatics on conversational cooperation and interpersonal pragmatics. The article first examines the structural features of black-white conversations, and explains the conversational norms by using Grice’s theory of conversation as the explanatory framework. The analysis sheds light on the relative nature of Grice’s maxims and the inseparability of the informational and the relational aspects of conversation. The article examines the relationship dynamics of black-white conversations by drawing on studies in interpersonal pragmatics. From the stylistic feature of the use of address terms, the study delves into the interracial pragmatics of black–white conversations. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div
