Verbal fluency as a window into the mechanisms of creative language production (C05)

• Subject Area: Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 512393437

Project C05 will use verbal fluency tasks to gain insights into the mechanisms of creative language production. We will use different semantic and emotional word categories to characterise the cognitive and cerebral resources that play a role in linguistic creativity. To better understand how inter-individual and situational variability influences creative language production, verbal fluency tasks will be related to cognitive, affective and personality traits of speakers and will be performed under different conditions, including dyadic interactions.
