Abstract:

In cognitive stylistics, the theory of probable worlds is used to understand the contradictory plots of narratives. The principles of this theory explain the type of reading of the literary narrative and the interactions between the text and the reader. Similarly, Quantum physicists emphasize the multiplicity of universes and call them parallel universes. This issue can be explored in narratology under the name of possible worlds. Ryan divides multi-world narratives into three types of stories: fantasy and science fiction (world exploration narrative), intermittent history, and time travel. The fit of probable worlds with the real world can be studied in terms of access to real-world conditions that include 1) access to a time when the history of the probable world is different from the history of the real world, 2) linguistic access, 3) the use of language that leads the reader to the probable world, 4) natural access, 5) violations of the laws of physics, logic, mathematics, etc. 5) the real world, and 6) access to objects that are incompatible with the probable world with the real world.
