Discourse and Creativity
Discourse and Creativity examines the way different approaches to discourse analysis conceptualize the notion of creativity and address it analytically. It includes examples of studies of creativity from a variety of traditions and examines the following key areas, how people interpret and use discourse, the processes and practices of discourse production, discourse in modes other than written and spoken language, and the relationship between discourse and the technologies used to produce it. Discourse and Creativity combines a forward-thinking and interdisciplinary approach to the topic of creativity; this collection will be of great value to students and scholars in applied linguistics, stylistics, and communication studies.

It seems v cheeky to give a high rating to this book that I have a chapter in. Very honoured by the company I am keeping. Enjoyed an ethnography of reading groups by Joan Swann. First was a lively chapter on repetition in poetry by Michael Toolan. Really fine work by others including Andrew Morrison, Vijay Bhatia, Sigrid Norris & of course Rodney Jones. Had the feeling Theo van Leeuwen & Crispin Thurlow felt a little freer to express themselves in chapter form. All in all a lot of original thinking, or at least new to me.
