dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the possible relation between linguistic viewpoints and narrative persuasion. A literature review is conducted to investigate how linguistic viewpoints can be researched in relation to narrative persuasion. Theories from several different academic disciplines on persuasion and narrative persuasion are reviewed to gain better insights into the mechanisms that affect narrative persuasion. The first chapter examines the workings of persuasion and the relevant related concepts. Theories of persuasion and behaviour are compared to each other. The second chapter focusses on theories of narrative persuasion. Concepts such as transportation and identification are reviewed in relation to persuasion. The third chapter investigates how linguistic viewpoints relate to these concepts. Linguistic viewpoints are discussed in relation to narrative persuasion and narrative processing. The conclusion is that linguistic viewpoints are expected to affect narrative persuasion by guiding the process of character identification. The implications of these findings are discussed, as well as the possibilities for future research on linguistic viewpoints, identification, transportation, and narrative persuasion.en_US
