Scientists explain why people like poetry so much

Doctoral student Kristiine Kikas from Tallinn University studied how people feel

when reading poetry and how they affect the understanding of poetry. Discuss

As the researcher explained, followingneurobiological explanation of the phenomenon of metaphors, she used the tendency of the human body to perceive language at the sensorimotor level when carefully reading. “This trait allows us to physically feel the words we read,” Kikas added. In fact, using the concepts of neuroscience, the researcher assessed the emotional sensations and analytical ideas that arise when reading poetry.

Kikas stated that the sensations caused by wordscan be considered a sign of the unity of the reader and the word. The researcher emphasizes that this can only happen if the multiplicity of sensations and meanings arising from reading is realized.
