Roger Fowler (1977:103) coined the term mind-style to refer to any distinctive linguistic representation of an individual mental self, whether of a character, narrator or implied author. The impression of a mind-style is usually cumulatively conveyed through consistent linguistic choices which together cut the narrated world to a distinctive cognitive pattern... (p.311)
Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory (ed. David Herman et al.,2005)
Mind-style is the linguistic representation of an individual's mental perception of the world. To put it simply, mind-style is a description of our personal worldview. My worldview may differ from yours; individual worldviews may be based on personal knowledge, how we process information, our prejudices, our beliefs, our disabilities or challenges, our personal preferences, and even our tendencies towards a particular mode of action.
In Fowler's own words, mind style must be a consistent and contextual demonstration of the views of the world by a character. It must do so in a way that shows
“cumulatively, consistent structural options, agreeing in cutting the presented world to one pattern or another, to give rise to an impression of a world-view”.
Mind Style is not an easy concept to understand so let's not confuse it with focalization or point of view. They are related to it, but not the same.
