特纳认为,故事、投射和寓言不仅仅体现在文学作品中,也是人类思维的基本方式;他发现混合和多重的空间在认知过程中具有重大意义,独特的自我只有超越有限的时空才能把握故事,了解别人和自我;他还颠覆了传统的语言起源理论,认为语言源自故事和寓言。 Turner believed that stories, projections and allegories are not only embodied in literary works but also basic ways of human thinking. He finds that mixed and multiple spaces have great significance in the process of cognition. Unique self can only grasp beyond the limited space-time Story, understanding of others and self; he also subverts the traditional theory of the origin of language, that language comes from stories and allegorical.
