Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Language and Creativity

The creative use of language is neither extraordinary nor merely supplementary. As many scholars have come to realise, it plays a pivotal enabling role in human thought and social interaction, and is a key feature of language use. Integrating a wealth of different approaches and a wide sweep of domains, with contributions by the leading researchers in the field, this authoritative handbook is a key entry and reference point for what is now a central topic in the study of language and communication. Guy Cook, King's College London, UK This book moves the discussion of creativity beyond a focus on creativity as a characteristic of individuals to an exploration of how creativity is a core feature of all aspects of language use and communication. It provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of the nature of creativity and in the process redefines the landscape of creativity studies. Jack C. Richards, University of Sydney, Australia
