N2 - Psychonarratology is a discipline that combines classic frameworks in narratology and psycholinguistics. The goal of this paper is to highlight the contributions that recent evidence from causality processing studies, conceptual metaphor theory and embodied cognition can make to promote a more comprehensive study of narratives. We argue that the field of Psychonarratology could benefit from a more interdisciplinary approach, which integrates grounded theoretical cognition and recent methods from different disciplines that can contribute to its descriptive and explanatory power. With this aim, we review evidence that highlights the fundamental link between cognition and causal connections in narratives, as well as proposals from conceptualization theories. These theories indicate that metaphorical mappings and the establishment of discourse connections play a crucial role in the establishment of narrative sequences. In turn, we elaborate on the contributions that recent advances on research on embodied cognition, causality processing and Metaphor Conceptual Theory can make to the theoretical and methodological framework of Psychonarratology (such as promoting the design of new more ecologically valid tasks, and the study of narrative production and comprehension by non-neurotypical participants).
