Psychonarratology is a discipline that combines classic frameworks in narratology and psycholinguistics. The goal of this review article is to highlight the contributions that recent evidence from causality processing studies, conceptual metaphor theory and embodied cognition can make to Psychonarratology, in order to promote a more comprehensive study of narrative. We argue that, in order to increase its descriptive and explanatory power, Psychonarratology would benefit from a more strongly interdisciplinary approach. This approach would integrate grounded theoretical cognition and recent methods from different disciplines. With this aim, we review study evidence that highlights the fundamental link between cognition and causal connections in narratives, as well as proposals from conceptualization theories. These approaches indicate that metaphorical mappings and discourse connections play a crucial role in the establishment of narrative sequences. Moreover, we elaborate on the contributions that recent advances in research on embodied cognition, causality processing and Conceptual Metaphor Theory can make to the theoretical and methodological framework of Psychonarratology, such as promoting the design of more ecologically valid tasks, and the study of narrative production and comprehension by non-neurotypical participants.
心理叙述学是一门结合了叙述学和心理语言学经典框架的学科。本文的目的是强调因果关系处理研究、概念隐喻理论和具身认知的最新证据，能为心理叙述学做出哪些贡献，以促进对叙事的更全面研究。我们认为，为了提高其描述和解释能力，心理叙述学将受益于更加强有力的跨学科方法。这种方法将整合基于经验的理论认知和来自不同学科的最新方法。为此，我们回顾了研究证据，这些证据强调了认知和叙事中的因果联系之间的基本联系，以及概念化理论的建议。这些方法表明，隐喻映射和话语联系在叙事序列的建立中起着至关重要的作用。此外，我们详细阐述了最近在具身认知、因果关系处理和概念隐喻理论研究方面的进展，能为心理叙述学的理论和方法框架做出哪些贡献，例如促进更具生态有效性的任务设计，以及对非神经典型参与者的叙事产生和理解的研究。
