Language and Creativity

Exploring the concept of creativity in everyday language, this book challenges the notion that it is limited to formal discourses like literature and advertising. Through diverse real-life examples, including conversations among flatmates and families, as well as psychotherapy sessions, Ronald Carter illustrates that creativity is inherent in daily speech. This work builds on prior theories and makes significant contributions to linguistic, literary, and cultural studies, appealing to those interested in the nuances of everyday communication.
