Know about the book -

Gaps in Nature is written by Ellen Spolsky and published by SUNY Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 079141387X (ISBN 10) and 9780791413876 (ISBN 13).

This book is a study of the relation between cognitive linguistics and literary theory. Theory of literary interpretation is reinterpreted in terms of current debate in cognitive science. While research in the humanities and social sciences is reasonably concerned with charting the power of culture to structure and constrain, Spolsky suggests that it is worthwhile to investigate the role of biological materialism as co-legislator of human life and understanding. The inevitable slippage we have come to acknowledge between words and the world has at least an analogue, and presumably also a source, in the workings of the human brain.
