Creativity, reuse, and regularity in music and language 音乐和语言的创造性、重用性和规律性

Abstract A recent strand in research in historical linguistics has argued that language change often involves constructional routinization (e.g., Traugott and Trousdale 2013), while recent psycholinguistic work has also suggested parallels between alignment, routinization, and change (Garrod and Pickering 2013) — such routines have been shown to emerge in conversational flow as a product of interaction between speakers and hearers. Similar claims have been made for the development of musical routines in improvisation: much improvisational work involves the use of prefabricated routines (Torrance and Schumann 2018). This article seeks to contribute to the debate on creativity by providing an analysis of some of the similarities and differences between musical and linguistic conventions, including a comparison of creative improvisation in music and innovation in language. The discussion is couched in a cognitive linguistic framework with a particular focus on linguistic constructions (see the overview in Hoffmann and Trousdale 2013) and a reflection of how this might be extended to consider aspects of the cognitive representation of musical structures.
历史语言学最近的一项研究认为,语言变化通常涉及结构常规化(例如,Traugott和Trousdale, 2013),而最近的心理语言学研究也表明,一致性、常规化和变化之间存在相似之处(Garrod和Pickering, 2013)——这种常规已被证明是说话者和听者之间互动的产物,出现在会话流中。类似的说法也适用于即兴创作中音乐套路的发展:许多即兴作品涉及使用预制套路(Torrance和Schumann 2018)。本文试图通过分析音乐和语言惯例之间的一些异同,包括比较音乐中的创造性即兴创作和语言创新,为创造力的辩论做出贡献。讨论是在一个特别关注语言结构的认知语言学框架中进行的(见Hoffmann和Trousdale 2013的概述),并反映了如何将其扩展到考虑音乐结构的认知表征方面。

Creativity within and outside the linguistic system 语言系统内外的创造力
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2025

Abstract In this paper, we distinguish two types of creativity (F-creativity and E-creativity; Sampson 2016) and briefly address the question of language change and linguistic innovation in language acquisition. Cognitively speaking, the two types of creativity may impose different cognitive demands on a speaker. But the most pressing question, from our point of view, is the question whether E-creativity itself is constrained or forces us to ‘transcend’ the (rules of the) system. We will, eventually, argue that what looks like creative language use (metaphor, coercion, etc.) is still governed by rules (or hypermaxims). True E-creativity would then mean to step outside the system.
本文区分了两种类型的创造力(f型创造力和e型创造力);Sampson 2016),并简要讨论语言习得中的语言变化和语言创新问题。从认知上讲,这两种类型的创造力可能会对说话者提出不同的认知要求。但从我们的角度来看,最紧迫的问题是电子创意本身是限制还是迫使我们“超越”(规则)系统的问题。最终,我们将论证,那些看似创造性的语言使用(隐喻、强制等)仍然受到规则(或极端格言)的支配。那么,真正的电子创新就意味着跳出体制。

Creative intentions — The fine line between ‘creative’ and ‘wrong’ 创造性意图——“创造性”和“错误”之间的界限
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2027
P. Uhrig
Abstract The distinction between creative language use and linguistic errors is not always straightforward. Even less clear is what factors play a role in the attribution of a positive evaluation (= creative) or a negative one (= error). In this paper, it is argued that a Construction Grammar approach can model the difference based on two basic mechanisms: Frequency effects (either modelled as preemption or as negative entrenchment) and hearer expectations, which are continuously updated and based on a wide range of linguistic and contextual factors such as dialect and speech situation, influencing the perception of the abilities and intentions of the speaker.
创造性语言使用和语言错误之间的区别并不总是直截了当的。更不清楚的是,什么因素在积极评价(=创造性)或消极评价(=错误)的归因中发挥了作用。本文认为,构建语法方法可以基于两种基本机制来模拟这种差异:频率效应(建模为先发制人或消极堑沟)和听者期望,听者期望是不断更新的,并基于广泛的语言和语境因素,如方言和言语情境,影响说话者对能力和意图的感知。

Learning formulaic creativity: Chunking in verbal art and speech – a response to Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas 学习公式化创造力:语言艺术和演讲中的分块——对Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas的回应
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2024
Alexander T. Bergs
Abstract This response to the paper by Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas argues that wide-learning networks might actually be useful in the description and analysis of phonology and morphology, but it is less than clear that the same applies to syntax or text. Phenomena such as proverbs and oral poetic formulae are probably better understood in a traditional Construction Grammar framework with mid-level abstract units based on compositionality.
Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas对这篇论文的回应认为,宽学习网络实际上可能在音韵学和形态学的描述和分析中有用,但对于语法或文本是否适用则不太清楚。谚语和口述诗句等现象可能在传统的结构语法框架中得到更好的理解,该框架基于组合性,具有中等水平的抽象单元。

Coda: Literature, language, and creativity 结语:文学、语言和创造力
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2030
Karin Kukkonen
Abstract Literature is often considered the creative expression of language par excellence. This coda considers how the perspectives from Construction Grammar, as they are outlined in this special issue, can enter into dialogue with recent developments in how literary studies address creativity. Construction Grammar concerns itself with the productive generation and manipulation of language in everyday contexts, but, as this special issue goes to show, these processes can also be discussed in terms of creativity and deployed to shed light on creative processes in the arts. Convergences between Construction Grammar and (cognitive) literary studies appear to emerge in particular around the question of creative practice in literary language and (1) in how far writing gives rise to particular kinds of creativity; (2) how one can generalize between different creative media, such as literature, painting and music; and (3) how writing-based creativity can be investigated. Literary studies with its interests in media environments, social/historical context and textual analysis might provide a larger testing ground for claims about the compatibility and incompatibility of everyday and literary creativity as they are put forward in this special issue.
文学通常被认为是语言的创造性表达。这个结语考虑了结构语法的观点,正如他们在这个特刊中概述的那样,可以与文学研究如何解决创造力的最新发展进行对话。结构语法本身关注的是日常语境中语言的生产性生成和操纵,但是,正如本期特刊所展示的,这些过程也可以从创造力的角度进行讨论,并用于阐明艺术中的创造性过程。构式语法和(认知)文学研究之间的趋同似乎特别出现在文学语言的创造性实践问题上,以及(1)写作在多大程度上产生了特定类型的创造力;(2)如何在文学、绘画和音乐等不同的创意媒体之间进行概括;(3)如何调查基于写作的创造力。在媒体环境、社会/历史背景和文本分析方面的文学研究可能会为日常创作和文学创作的兼容性和不兼容性的主张提供更大的试验场,正如本期特刊所提出的那样。

Playing by/with the rules: Creativity in language, games, and art 按规则行事:语言、游戏和艺术中的创造力
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2026

Abstract Bergs and Kompa (Creativity within and outside the linguistic system. Cognitive Semiotics 13. 1, 2020) discuss creativity in language, which they see as largely rule-bound, as opposed to ‘true,’ rule-breaking creativity in the arts. However, the distinction between intra- and extra-system creativity is not always easy to make. Languages have evolved into efficient systems for communication and occasionally allow for divergences of their own norms, within limits of comprehensibility, just like games are developed to enable maximum player creativity or even rule bending (as in the case of Monopoly Cheaters Edition). The paradox of systems licencing violations of their own norms and rules is similar to the one underlying avant-garde as one or more movements in the history of art, when breaking with expectations was the vogue of the time — hence, somehow to be expected. Judging art as innovative or not also depends on what we adopt as our artistic frame of reference. Furthermore, single works of art or single artists can be ahead of the times in some respects but not in others. Turning again to language, I agree with Bergs and Kompa that competent speakers abide by the rules, which implies such language users also know (perhaps not always fully consciously) how to exploit in-built mechanisms that make them sound creative.
语言系统内外的创造性。认知符号学1, 2020)讨论语言创造力,他们认为这在很大程度上是受规则约束的,而不是艺术中“真正的”打破规则的创造力。然而,区分系统内和系统外的创造力并不总是那么容易。语言已经发展成为有效的交流系统,并且在可理解的范围内偶尔允许其自身规范的分歧,就像游戏的开发是为了最大限度地发挥玩家的创造力甚至规则弯曲(就像《大富翁作弊版》的情况一样)。系统允许违反自己的规范和规则的悖论类似于艺术史上一个或多个前卫运动的一个潜在问题,当打破期望是当时的时尚时-因此,不知何故被期待。判断艺术是否创新还取决于我们采用什么作为我们的艺术参照系。此外,单个艺术作品或单个艺术家可以在某些方面领先于时代,但在其他方面则不然。再回到语言上,我同意Bergs和Kompa的观点,即有能力的说话者遵守规则,这意味着这些语言使用者也知道(也许并不总是完全有意识的)如何利用内在机制使他们听起来有创造力。

Coda: Creativity in psychological research versus in linguistics – Same but different? 结语:心理学研究中的创造力与语言学中的创造力——相同但不同?

Abstract Understanding the very nature of creativity is a hot topic in research across various disciplines and has profound societal relevance. In this contribution, we discuss verbal creativity by highlighting its definition, psychometric measurement, and relations with other personality dispositions. We relate psychological research with findings from linguistics presented in this issue and depict similarities and differences between both approaches. More specifically, we relate the linguistic terminology of F-creativity to fluency and flexibility, whereas we identify E-creativity as akin to originality. We propose latent semantic analysis as a possible approach for evaluating originality and compare this approach with more commonly applied human ratings. Based on contributions in this issue, we discuss creativity as a domain-general process that is (e. g., in applied arts) often driven by the recombination of mental elements. Lastly, we propose several intelligence and personality dispositions as determinants of individual differences in creativity. We conclude that creativity research in linguistic and psychology has many communalities and interdisciplinary work bears strong promises for the future.
理解创造力的本质是各个学科研究的热门话题,具有深远的社会意义。在这篇文章中,我们通过强调语言创造力的定义、心理测量以及与其他人格倾向的关系来讨论语言创造力。我们将心理学研究与本期提出的语言学研究结果联系起来,并描述两种方法之间的异同。更具体地说,我们将f创造力的语言学术语与流畅性和灵活性联系起来,而我们将e创造力与独创性联系起来。我们提出潜在语义分析作为评估原创性的可能方法,并将这种方法与更常用的人类评分方法进行比较。基于本期的贡献,我们将创造力作为一个领域的通用过程来讨论(例如,在应用艺术中),它通常是由心理元素的重组驱动的。最后,我们提出了智力和人格倾向作为创造力个体差异的决定因素。我们得出的结论是,语言学和心理学的创造力研究有许多社区,跨学科的工作在未来有着强大的前景。

Speakers are creative, within limits — a response to Peter Uhrig 演讲者在一定范围内是有创造力的——这是对彼得·乌里格的回应

Abstract In his contribution to the present volume, Uhrig (2020. Cognitive Semiotics 13, 1) focusses on an interesting question: When is a novel utterance considered “creative” and when is it seen as “wrong?” As I will show, Uhrig offers many important answers to this question. At the same time, I argue 1) that deliberateness is not (always) important for linguistic creativity; 2) that appropriateness requires a closer look; and 3) that frequency does not (always) play the most important role.

Constructions and creativity 结构与创意
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-01-15 DOI: 10.1515/cogsem-2020-2019

Abstract The first principle of cognitive linguistics is to look for the origins of linguistic powers in robust mental operations not specific to language. For millennia, language science has assumed that human beings possess mental operations for unifying, combining, and merging patterns to create expressions, and that, conversely, they can analyze expressions they encounter to recognize patterns that were combined to produce them. The third section of this article reviews some of the literature concerned with these powers to combine patterns into expressions and to analyze expressions into patterns that were blended to create them. Any assumption about such a linguistic power takes out a loan on theory that must be cashed out with a non-language-specific explanation if the theory is to count as cognitive. One can stipulate to the existence of some unexplained power that is needed for linguistic performance, but that stipulation is insubstantial until it is grounded in a demonstrated non-language-specific operation. An assumption or stipulation about a linguistic power is cashed out when we locate and model the non-language-specific cognitive operations that make that linguistic power possible. The first section of this article presents the proposition that the non-language-specific mental operation that accounts for these linguistic powers is blending, otherwise known as conceptual integration. The second section provides a topical review of blending in specific communicative form-meaning pairs and their combination. Blending is the foundation of creativity in communication, or, more specifically, in the creation and combining of form-meaning pairs, also called “constructions.”
认知语言学的首要原则是在非特定于语言的稳健心理操作中寻找语言能力的起源。几千年来,语言科学一直认为,人类拥有统一、组合和合并模式以创造表达的心理操作,相反,他们可以分析遇到的表达,以识别组合产生这些表达的模式。本文的第三部分回顾了一些与将模式组合为表达式以及将表达式分析为混合创建模式的模式有关的文献。任何关于这种语言力量的假设都是借来的理论,如果这个理论要算作认知理论,就必须用一个非语言特定的解释来兑现。人们可以规定语言表现所需要的某种无法解释的力量的存在,但这种规定是不实质性的,直到它被证明是基于非语言特定的操作。当我们找到并模拟使语言能力成为可能的非语言特定认知操作时,关于语言能力的假设或规定就会兑现。本文的第一部分提出了一个命题,即这些语言能力的非语言特定心理操作是混合的,也就是所谓的概念整合。第二部分对特定交际形式-意义对及其组合的混合进行了专题回顾。混合是交流创造力的基础,或者更具体地说,是形式-意义对(也称为“结构”)的创造和组合的基础。

Blending is the foundation of creativity in communication, or, more specifically, in the creation and combining of form-meaning pairs, also called “constructions.”","PeriodicalId":52385,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Semiotics","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82292631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract The semiotics of phenomena like déjà vus and hallucinations constitute a limit-field of a theory of the sign, but one that offers opportunities to question the fundamental principles of the discipline while at the same time offering the opportunity to address their underlying cognitive processes. The article describes the cognitive nature of déjà vus and hallucinations, briefly reviews the literature about them, and reads them as cognitive perturbations in the light of a semiotics of mental simulacra related to perception, apperception, awareness, memory, and imagination. The article then uses such cognitive and semiotic modeling in order to develop a critique of present-day digital culture, in which the uncritical adoption of a mnemonic ideal based on digital memory jeopardizes one of the key features of embodied memory: imperfection and, as a consequence, the possibility to access aesthetic and temporal singularity. A collective memory prone to déjà vus and hallucinations ensues.
幻影和幻觉等现象的符号学构成了符号理论的一个极限领域,但它提供了质疑该学科基本原则的机会,同时也提供了解决其潜在认知过程的机会。本文描述了幻影和幻觉的认知本质,简要回顾了有关它们的文献,并从与感知、统觉、意识、记忆和想象相关的心理拟像的符号学角度将它们解读为认知扰动。然后,本文使用这种认知和符号学模型来发展对当今数字文化的批判,其中不加批判地采用基于数字记忆的记忆理想危害了具身记忆的一个关键特征:不完美,因此,有可能获得美学和时间奇点。集体记忆容易产生幻觉。
