Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to explore how the cognitive literary approach was received by the Slovak academic environment in the period of time from 2007 to 2012. It also tries to map the main areas of scientific research interest within the field of cognitive studies. The year 2007 does not represent an arbitrary choice, as it relates to Bogumiła Suwara’s study published in Slovak Review. A Review of World Literature Research entitled “Cognitive literary science in a bit different way” which included a brief overview though comprehensive enough in order to reflect the way cognitive theory was received in Slovakia. The author of the present article aims at providing a general view of the way the cognitive turn was perceived in Slovakia while pointing out some of its relevant aspects by presenting various studies accompanied by brief comments.
