Meeting Description:

Speakers aim to produce utterances that optimally convey their intended
meanings. For this purpose, they normally resort to the conventionally shared
inventory of expres-sions and productively compose them into more complex
expressions. However, in many circumstances ordinary productivity is not
sufficient, causing speakers and listen-ers cooperatively to move beyond the
resources of their mental dictionaries and com-positional constraints by
creating new ad hoc meanings and interpretations well be-yond literal meaning.

Linguistic creativity augments conventional interpretation and expands meaning
be-yond conventionally interpretative limits imposed by the linguistic system
at basically all linguistic levels, be it intentionally or unconsciously. The
range of relevant phenom-ena can be anchored on different levels and elements
of an expression to frame and sharpen the meaning in a certain context as in
metonymic shifts (the hepatitis called), indirect speech acts (Hasn’t the mail
arrived by now? intended as a request for some-one to get the mail) or
contextually occurring sortal shifts (Suzie finished the cigarette for
finishing the painting of a cigarette, as discussed by Asher 2011).

The workshop aims at combining insights from linguistics and cognitive
psychology into the above-mentioned phenomena as well as to other related
fields such as meta-phors, idioms, word plays, open texture, and irony.


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite submissions for presentations (20 minutes talk + 10 minutes
discussion) of theoretical and/or empirical contributions investigating
creative meaning enrichments in a wide range of linguistic phenomena with a
focus on the following questions:
- In how far does creative meaning emerge from (i) contextual influences, (ii)
mechanisms of compositionality, or (iii) alterations of established elements
of compositional meaning, such as lexical semantics?
- To what extent is creativity anchored in the language system and to what
extent does it operate extra-systemically?
- What are the limits of creativity in interpretation?
- And when do highly particularized and contextually determined meaning
altera-tions result in the preservation within the language system?

Invited speaker(s)
- Bart Geurts (Radboud University)
- Arne Zeschel (IDS Mannheim)
