Language and Creativity

Meer over het boek

Exploring the notion of creativity in everyday language, this book challenges the traditional view that it belongs solely to literature and advertising. Through diverse examples from daily conversations, such as those among flatmates or in therapy sessions, Ronald Carter illustrates that creativity is inherent in all forms of speech. This work builds on existing theories and presents a significant contribution to linguistic, literary, and cultural studies, making it essential for anyone intrigued by the creative aspects of everyday communication.
