Abstract:

The volume provides a critical examination of ideas about everydaycreativity, introducing a variety of approaches to its study. It exploresan argument that has become influential within English language studies -that speakers and writers routinely use language creatively, and that thereis some continuity between such everyday creativity and literary language.Chapters examine poetic language, narrative and performance in everydayconversation, along with a range of written genres (from graffiti and textmessages to online chat).
