Grammatical and conversational analysis of creative variations of multi-word expressions (B04)

• Subject Area: General and Comparative Linguistics, Experimental Linguistics, Typology, Non-European Languages ; Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 512393437

B04 deals with ad hoc invented or creatively modified multi-word expressions in natural dialogues, their formal properties, their interactive processing, as well as their limits and conditions for success in the context of local and global conversational tasks. A special feature of the project is the methodological approach that draws from two independent disciplines – conversation analysis and formal grammatical analysis – which complement each other in the study of linguistic creativity.
