I am currently preoccupied with the way in which rhetorical figures reflect brain structure. (You want to remember a phone number? Repeat it over and over. Hey! That's ploke! You want to structure a list in the most cognitively efficient way? Arrange the phrases into parallel syntactic patterns. Hey! That's parison! You want to learn something new? Compare it to something you already know. Hey! That's simile!) This study, the study of the mental correlates of figuration and other aspects of argumentation, aesthetics, and persuasion, is Cognitive Rhetoric. I am also increasingly interested in the computational investigation of figures: on the one hand, building an ontology of figures to model the neurocognitive landscape of figuration; and on the other hand, charting the way those big, big, too big language models respond to or incorporate rhetorical figures.
