Abstract

Perspective taking is a ubiquitous phenomenon in poetry. Perspective spaces are commonly constructed in poetic texts. They can be realized in the forms of transferred epithet and metaphor. Cognitive analysis of the building and blending of perspective spaces in poems may activate the reader's cultural imagination through the awareness of the cognitive forces of the perspective spaces in them.
