The article presents theory of defeated expectancy as one of the major types of foregrounding and psycholinguistic phenomenon in the literary text through the theory of Fauconnier’s mental spaces. As one of the types of the foregrounding, it is the important constituent factor of connectivity, because predictability/unpredictability play a significant role in establishing metatextual cohesion in the literary text. Defeated expectancy can be found on all text levels, playing different functions and enhancing the aesthetic and emotional impact on the reader. Within the framework of cognitive linguistics and cognitive psycholinguistics this effect can also be considered as violation of expectation theory which leads to the conflict between real and the expected space. According to this view, the effect of defeated expectancy can be analysed as a mental space phenomenon.
