Abstract

The reading of enjambement, usually described as a "mismatch" between syntactic units and the versification pattern set by the line that delimits the verse, involves complex cognitive processes—perception, pattern recognition, sentence processing, anticipation, and categorization. To explain this phenomenon, models alternate between more or less internalist and computational versions—readers of versified poetry are disembodied processors, "cognitive sandwiches" (cf. Hurley, 2008) of the input → processing → output type, devoid of habits (cultural, physical, sensorimotor), sociotechnical artifacts, and contexts. Here, I address how some theses from "active cognitive externalism," particularly those related to "perception as action" (Alva Noë) and "cognition as prediction" (Andy Clark), can help situate enjambement within the field of 4E cognition studies (embodied, embedded, enacted, extended cognition). However, my approach is metatheoretical. I am interested in the implications of certain premises (4E) for discussions on the extended cognition of poetry and verse.
