Meeting Description:

Linguistic creativity augments conventional interpretation and expands meaning
beyond conventionally interpretative limits imposed by the linguistic system
at all linguistic levels, be it intentionally or unconsciously. The workshop
aims at combining insights from linguistics and cognitive psychology into
phenomena like metonymic shifts, indirect speech acts, comlement coercion,
methaphors, idioms, word plays, open texture and irony.


Call for Papers:

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

Linguistic creativity augments conventional interpretation and expands meaning
beyond conventionally interpretative limits imposed by the linguistic system
at basically all linguistic levels, be it intentionally or unconsciously. The
range of relevant phenomena 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 someone 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 metaphors, idioms, word plays, open texture, and irony.

We invite submissions for presentations (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion)
of theoretical and/or empirical contributions investigating creative meaning
enrichment 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
alterations result in the preservation within the language system?
