A long tradition of research including classical rhetoric, esthetics and poetics theory, formalism and structuralism, as well as current perspectives in (neuro)cognitive poetics has investigated structural and functional aspects of literature reception. Despite a wealth of literature published in specialized journals like Poetics, however, still little is known about how the brain processes and creates literary and poetic texts. Still, such stimulus material might be suited better than other genres for demonstrating the complexities with which our brain constructs the world in and around us, because it unifies thought and language, music and imagery in a clear, manageable way, most often with play, pleasure, and emotion (Schrott and Jacobs, 2011). In this paper, I discuss methods and models for investigating the neuronal and cognitive-affective bases of literary reading together with pertinent results from studies on poetics, text processing, emotion, or neuroaesthetics, and outline current challenges and future perspectives.
长期以来，包括古典修辞学、美学和诗学理论、形式主义和结构主义以及（神经）认知诗学在内的研究传统，一直在研究文学接受的结构和功能方面。然而，尽管专门的期刊如《诗学》发表了大量文献，但对于大脑如何处理和创作文学和诗歌文本，我们仍然知之甚少。尽管如此，与其他类型的文本相比，这种刺激材料可能更适合展示我们的大脑如何以复杂的方式构建我们周围的世界，因为它以清晰、易于管理的方式将思想和语言、音乐和意象统一起来，通常还带有游戏、乐趣和情感（Schrott 和 Jacobs，2011）。在本文中，我讨论了研究文学阅读的神经和认知情感基础的方法和模型，以及来自诗学、文本处理、情感或神经美学研究的相关结果，并概述了当前的挑战和未来的展望。
