Submission Deadline: 26-Mar-2026

Priming and analogy are central mechanisms in human language. Priming
supports the activation of linguistic structures and meanings, while
analogy enables speakers to extend patterns and recognise relational
similarities. Although both mechanisms are well studied, they have
largely been investigated in isolation. Recent research, however,
suggests that they may be deeply interconnected, even as the
directionality of this relationship remains a matter of debate. The
workshop aims to contribute to this debate by adding a specific
perspective: the role of priming and analogy and their relation in
creative language use.
We welcome contribution that relate to:
- The relationship of priming and analogy
- The role of analogy and priming in creative language use
- Cognitive and linguistic models linking priming, analogy, and
creativity
- Priming across languages and in multilingual contexts
- Psycholinguistic factors underlying priming and analogy (in creative
language use)
- Methodological approaches to studying these questions
Related topics will also be considered.
