Cognitive philology is the science that studies written and oral texts, considering them as results of human mental processes. This science, therefore, compares the results of textual science with those results of experimental research of both psychological field and artificial intelligence production systems. This discipline:
deals with transmission modalities of written and textes, and processes through which different knowledges are classified, availing itself, firstly, of the information theory
studies the narrative subject, especially regarding its selecting nature
examines the developing function of rhythm and metre and the pertinence of the semantic association during processing the cognitive maps
Finally, it provides the scientific ground for the realization of critical multimedial editions.
Among the founding fathers and noteworthy students of these matters: Gilles Fauconnier, Alan Richardson and Mark Turner in the USA; Benoît de Cornulier and François Recanati in France; David Herman and Manfred Jahn in Germany; Paolo Canettieri, Domenico Fiormonte, Anatole Pierre Fuksas and Luca Nobile in Italy; Julián Santano Moreno in Spain.
