| The so-called "information" has two senses:one is a general concept,referring to any word,sentence,sentence group,or the whole text;the other is a terminology concept, which is common in communication theory,especially refers to the new information on things,phenomena,relations,and events in reality,which excludes things and phenomena that have been or are partly recognized in the minds.According to the first sense,the discourse quality mainly depends on how much information is carried on,known as informativeness,which is one of the factors to evaluate discourse function.For the second information sense,measuring the value of a discourse not only depends on the amount of information but also the new and effective information,which is a more important factor, is called discourse informativity.This thesis starts from cognitive stylistic angle,taking the representative theories of cognitive linguistics and cognitive pragmatics:Fauconnier and Turner's Mental Space Theory(MST)and Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory(RT),as the theoretical foundation.Meanwhile,it proposes a workable Mental Space-Relevance Model,to explore how poetic discourse transmits much information in the limited space.Besides,it provides a novel perspective,through analyzing and discovering the possible and universal significance of cognitive stylistic approach to cognitive operation on poetic information.The thesis intends to make a thorough inquiry of effectiveness of cognitive stylistics upon the construction and comprehension of poetic information,breaking the traditional formalism,to deepen the understanding of poetic discourse and its deviation style,in order to smooth the coordination between author,discourse,and reader.
