This is a seminar at the 11th ESSE Conference at Boğaziçi University,
Istanbul, Turkey, 4-8 September 2012. The seminar is to be co-convened

seminar is devoted to the study of lexical creativity and
inventiveness in present-day English(es).

Call for Papers:

This seminar invites papers on any aspect of lexical inventiveness in
the widest sense, on all novel and remarkable (rule-governed)
formations, (extragrammatical) creations and semantic shifts in the
present-day English language. Possible topics of investigation include
various creative nonce-formations and lexical metaphors and/or
metonymies, neologisms and neonyms, the different motivations for and
functions of lexical inventiveness, and also a focus on specific
domains such as, for instance, computer-mediated communication.
Contributions on all varieties of English, including New Englishes,
and on hybrid (i.e. bilingual) formations are welcome.

We welcome abstracts of 200 words in .doc or .pdf format, sent as
attachments to the following email addresses:

abagashevagmail.com
vincent.renneruniv-lyon2.fr
chstamenovabv.bg

Notification of acceptance will be sent by 1 March 2012.
