The aim of the journal is to provide Hungarian scholars researching within the vast field of cognitive literary theory with an opportunity to publish their research and to make the results of international and national research in this field accessible to those sharing the same academic interest.

The journal aims to publish articles that provide complex explanations for the cognitive organization of art and media artefacts and their impact on the reader, drawing on concepts from the psychology of perception and cognitive models of language, text, and information processing. The journal  welcomes publications  in the following broad areas of cognitive poetic scholarship: the aestheticization of meaning through metaphor, metonymy, allegories and symbols; metaphor and metonymy in the narrative fabric; the cognitive nature of poetic creation; the understanding of narrative stories and the (re)construction of meaning from literary texts; the construction of mental representations of characters and fictional worlds; the emotional processes involved in the reception of art and literature, the construction of meaning from literary texts, and other interdisciplinary issues.
