    In her introduction to the Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Literary Studies, Lisa Zunshine, scholar in the field and its best historian, describes cognitive literary critics as working “not toward consilience with science but toward a richer engagement with a variety of theoretical paradigms in literary and cultural studies” (2015).

    Thanks to all of you who came to Lizzie McNeill’s on Friday. It was a lovely evening and we will make sure we do it again.

    I’ll be in touch soon (via all of the relevant fora) with other thoughts about how those of us with interests in language, linguistics and lang-lit can keep in touch and work together in future.

    Best wishes,

    Billy

    Hi everybody,

    Looking forward to seeing some of you in Lizzie McNeill’s at 7.30.

    I thought it worth letting you know that it’s really close to the Sheraton where the presidential address is from 6.45 to 7.30, so quite possible to go to both and to get from one to the other very quickly.

    Best wishes,

    Billy
