All human beings create distinct pictures of the language in their minds so as to be able to comprehend it. They construct mental representations or text-worlds. This research explains how these text-worlds are formed, and how human beings make use of them. The investigation is fulfilled through the application of Gavins' (2007) text world theory. The model is applied to Dan Brown' s Inferno. The central tenet of the model is that human beings build a text-world, while bringing previous knowledge and experiences, and while updating the text-world as the discourse proceeds. In Gavins' (2007) account, text-world theory includes three interrelated levels. The first level is called the discourse-world. It deals with how people communicate via conversations, so it needs participants or interlocutors who are in the same place at the same time. In the discourse-world level, expectations, constraints, and personal knowledge structures must be determined. The second level is the text-world, and it is created in the mind of each interlocutor. It includes setting, time, objects, and characters that inhabit the narrative. In this level, the world building elements are settled. This level specifies function-advancing propositions which determine the progression of the text. The third level deals with the sub-worlds. It extends the text-world through flash-backs or flash-forwards, and through desires or metaphorical images. In this level, it is crucial to explain how some texts require conceptual processes which enable readers to manage several text-worlds in their minds at once. |
