Language Creativity: A Semiotic Perspective frames the concept of
creativity within a linguistic dimension by developing a
theoretical reflection with constant references to contact
languages and to the educational plan. Through the concept of
creativity and linguistic rule, Simone Casini highlights how
knowing and using a language does not mean using the rules of its
grammar, or making well-made phrases that guarantee understanding
and communication. Learning and using a language are social
activities, constantly hovering between the risks of
misunderstanding and the attempt to create upon the field an
understanding between users: a meaning that is possible (but not
guaranteed) provided that the users themselves are willing to move
within creativity to try to identify the most appropriate semiotic
roads to convey and create meaning. In the perspective Casini
proposes, semiotic creativity abandons the condition of the
linguistic property inter pares and rises to the rank of
theoretical and first principle by which languages define
themselves, function and interact in the negotiation of meaning in
relation to the social uses. This book considers creativity as a
premise for the rule changing of boundaries of meaning and creation
of language and meaning. Casini progresses from the
historical-critical concept of creativity and discusses the most
philosophical and linguistic theories in the North American and
European context.
