to the conference. All other researchers are more than welcome to
attend the event without a paper of their own and contribute to the
discussions.

Call for Papers:

The Young Linguists’ Meeting in Poznań (YLMP2025) is pleased to
announce a special thematic session titled “Language as a Window into
Creative Ideation.”

Creativity is commonly defined as the ability to generate novel and
context-appropriate ideas and solutions (e.g., Guilford 1967, Beaty et
al. 2016). It manifests across various domains of human activity,
including the arts, sciences, or inventive solutions to everyday
challenges. Language is a primary medium through which creative
thought is expressed. Indeed, studies focusing on language and
language-mediated processes have offered valuable insights into the
mechanisms underlying creative ideation (e.g., Gilhooly et al. 2007,
Alhashim et al. 2020, Benedek et al. 2018, Witczak et al. 2024).
Critically, individuals who speak two or more languages have been
found to outperform monolinguals in a number of creative tasks (for
review, see Kharkhurin, 2018) or perform a creative task experiencing
less cognitive stress in their second than their native language
(Jończyk et al., 2024).  

This session invites contributions from researchers interested in the
empirical studies of creativity in both controlled (laboratory) and
more naturalistic environments, exploring creativity through the
medium of language. The topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):  

•       Bilingualism and creativity  
•       Multilingualism and creativity  
•       Creative ideation and evaluation  
•       Creativity assessment  
•       Divergent and convergent thinking in creative ideation  
•       Problem-solving and creativity  
•       Applications of AI in creativity research  

Session organisers: Iga Krzysik, Olga Witczak, Rafał Jończyk
