Hendrik De Smet (KU Leuven): In language change, analogy is like gravity: omnipresent, weak, and poorly understood
Hörsaalgebäude YIn this paper I develop a particular view on analogy in language change. Although analogical reasoning underlies both creativity and language change, its involvement comes in different flavours. Where creativity involves analogies that are highly unpredictable and extravagant, language change mostly involves analogies that are predictable and unobtrusive. What is more, analogy in language change […]

Muriel Norde (HU Berlin): When creativity becomes routine, and vice versa
Hörsaalgebäude YAbstract: It is a well-known paradox in current theorising about creativity that successful creative forms may at some point become routine and are consequently no longer perceived of as creative (Fleissner 2025). In order to solve this puzzle, we need a model of creativity that encompasses both the creation of new forms and the establishment […]

Stefan Hartmann (HHU Düsseldorf): Constructions on the verge of a creative breakdown. What constructional idioms reveal about linguistic creativity and productivity
Hörsaalgebäude YLinguistic creativity has become one of the most prominent topics in Construction Grammar. Taking up Sampson's now well-established distinction between F(ixed)-creativity and E(xtending)-creativity, constructionist approaches are concerned with both types of creativity, which can potentially both play a significant role in accounting for what Goldberg has called the puzzle of partial productivity, i.e. the phenomenon […]

Rafał Jończyk (Adam Mickiewicz Universität Poznań): How thinking in another language modulates creativity and brain dynamics
Hörsaalgebäude YCreativity is widely regarded as a key cognitive resource in the 21st century, yet it remains a complex and elusive phenomenon. Language constitutes a central medium of creative thought and expression—for example, through the production and comprehension of novel metaphors. At the same time, a growing body of research suggests that operating in more than […]

Rasha Abdel Rahman (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin): The many facets of meaning processing during language production
Hörsaalgebäude YAbstract des Vortrags: Speaking is a highly flexible and adaptive means of expressing thoughts, sensations and experiences in diverse communicative contexts, but this potentially wide range of meaning processing has not been thoroughly investigated. In this talk, I will present studies on how different aspects of meaning affect lexical activation and the words we choose […]

Hans-Jörg Schmid (LMU München): What is creative to whom and why? Creativity in word-formation and phraseology against the backdrop of shared conventions and individual routines
Hörsaalgebäude YThis is a conceptual and programmatic talk aiming to contribute to grasping the nature of creativity in word-formation and phraseology. Creativity is often defined as balancing out originality and effectiveness. I interpret originality as degrees of deviation from convention and effectiveness as degrees of successful mutual understanding. Patterns in word-formation and phraseology provide speakers with […]
