Dowling’s The Senses of the Text: Intensional Semantics and Literary Theory makes an admirable attempt to introduce recent developments in linguistic semantics—specifically, the work of J. J. Katz—to readers trained in literary criticism and theory. The author argues that Katz’s ideas are relevant to problems of literary interpretation, claiming that they provide a new perspective on the problem of ‘‘determinate meaning’’ in literature. Dowling construes determinate meaning as ‘‘the notion that it is intelligible to say about a line in a poem or a sentence in a novel that it means one thing rather than another thing, X rather than Y’’ (ix). To make a case for the view that literary texts have determinate meanings in this sense, the author draws on three main elements of Katz’s semantic framework. One element is Katz’s linguistic realism, his view that meanings or (to use a technical term in Katz’s scheme) senses are ‘‘objects existing outside the spatio-temporal-causal order in the way thatmanymathematicians and logicians have been led to posit the existence of things like prime numbers and sets and equilateral triangles’’ (; cf. –). A second, related element is the distinction between linguistic types and linguistic tokens—a distinction that figures importantly in Katz’s work. An example would be the difference between the ideal type associated with the English definite article the and its five separate instantiations, or tokens, in the present sentence. The third element is Katz’s theory of decompositional sense structure; ac-}, number={2}, journal={POETICS TODAY}, author={Herman, D}, year={2002}, pages={327–350} } @article{herman_2001, title={Approaches to Murdoch - Introduction}, volume={47}, ISSN={["0026-7724"]}, DOI={10.1353/mfs.2001.0061}, abstractNote={I am honored to introduce this special issue of Modern Fiction Studies centering on the work of Iris Murdoch (1919-1999), a philosopher and novelist whose vital importance as a thinker and writer is evidenced by the contributions that follow.

Research on life stories, for example, has shown that characters are not simply preexisting contents packaged in certain kinds of clauses, but rather complex, emergent products of the interplay between narrative design and narrative processing. Such wide-focus studies need to be complemented by finer-grained, microstructural investigations of character as a part of narrative discourse. Based on a corpus of fifteen natural-language narratives (specifically, ghost stories), this paper examines how stories encode mental representations of characters. Drawing on research in the field of narratology, the paper labels these character representations actants. Actants are models that encode narrative participants as agents and patients, thus allowing particular discourse entities to be inserted into global action structures like Pursuit of a goal. Analyzing sequences of referring expressions in the ghost stories, the paper shows that identifying and tracking agents in narratives requires that information about participant roles be encoded in the telling of the story. Further, insofar as they reconfigure objects and occurrences as agents and actions, ghost stories provide unique insights into the cognitive, linguistic, and interactional processes shaping discourse anaphora in narrative contexts.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF PRAGMATICS}, author={Herman, D}, year={2000}, month={Jun}, pages={959–1001} } @misc{herman_2000, title={Review of Barbara Johnstone, Qualitative methods in sociolinguistics}, volume={24}, number={1}, journal={Southern Journal of Linguistics}, author={Herman, D.}, year={2000}, pages={141–144} } @misc{herman_2000, title={Review of Monika Fludernik, Towards a "natural" narratology}, volume={76}, number={1}, journal={Language}, author={Herman, D.}, year={2000}, pages={199–200} } @article{herman_1999, title={Economies of essence in Edith Wharton?s The house of Mirth}, volume={16}, number={1}, journal={Edith Wharton Review}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={6–10} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Narrative, reflexivity, and ideology: review of 'Theory and the novel: Narrative reflexivity in the British tradition'}, volume={33}, number={3}, journal={Style (Fayetteville, Ark.)}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={486–495} } @inbook{herman_1999, title={Narratologies: An introduction}, booktitle={Narratologies: New perspectives on narrative analysis}, publisher={Columbus: Ohio State University Press}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={1–30} } @book{herman_1999, title={Narratologies: New perspectives on narrative analysis}, ISBN={0814208215}, publisher={Columbus: Ohio State University Press}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999} } @article{herman_1999, title={Parables of narrative imagining}, volume={29}, number={1}, journal={Diacritics}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={20–36} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Postmodern narrative theory}, volume={45}, number={4}, journal={Modern Fiction Studies}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={1092–1096} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Review of Jonathan Culler, Literary theory: A very short introduction}, number={89}, journal={Substance}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={159–162} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Review of Joseph Francese, Narrating postmodern time and space}, volume={52}, number={4}, journal={Rivista Di Letterature Moderne E Comparate}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={406–409} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Review of Lubomir Dolezel, Heterocosmica: Fiction and possible worlds}, volume={57}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={377–380} } @misc{herman_1999, title={Review of Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes, American English: Dialects and Variation}, volume={8}, number={1}, journal={Language and Literature (Harlow, England)}, author={Herman, D.}, year={1999}, pages={94–95} } @inproceedings{herman_1999, title={Spatial cognition in natural-language narratives}, number={1999}, booktitle={Papers from the 1999 AAAI Fall Symposium on Narrative Intelligence.

After reviewing classical accounts of narrative sequences, the essay sketches developments in language theory and cognitive science that have occurred after the heyday of structuralist narrative poetics and that throw further light on two interlinked questions: what is necessary to make a sequence of events a narrative, and what makes some narrative sequences more readily processed as stories than others? Both questions can be addressed by the concept, drawn from artificial-intelligence research, of “scripts”—knowledge representations storing finite, sequentially ordered groups of actions required for the accomplishment of particular tasks. Exploring some literary applications of a theoretical model based on scripts, the final section of the text outlines research strategies for a postclassical narratology that encompasses cognitive approaches to stories.
