Are discourse expectations modulated by being linguistically creative? A production and perception study on Implicit Causality

Abstract

The present study investigates the production and perception of creative language with a particular focus on the discourse level. In particular, it addresses the question whether discourse biases associated with Implicit Causality are altered when we make a contribution that is intended to be original. This issue was addressed in two text production and two offline rating experiments. Our results show that creative contributions to ongoing discourse leave biases such as Implicit Causality largely unchanged but affect other linguistic markers.
