Buy Low Sell High -- Bibliography -- IndexKarl Lagerfeld's description of his sunglasses as a 'Burqa for my eyes' drew a huge amount of commentary. But what was going on within that phrase? Why was it deemed original and contentious and what can it tell us about creativity? Taking us through cliché, metaphor, analogy, neologism and surrealism, amongst other creative tropes, Tony Veale offers a comprehensive guide to the actual processes behind linguistic creativity. By grounding his approachable examples in easy to replicate methods, the book is perfect as a resource for individual creative exploration. Anyone with an open mind and a computer and a desire to learn about how we creatively say things with words will love this book.Written by an expert in natural language generation, this deceptively simple book offers powerful tools for reconceptualising creativity.Creativity (Linguistics)Creative writing & creative writing guidesGenerative grammarGrammar, Comparative and generalCoordinate constructionsCreativity (Linguistics)Generative grammar.Grammar, Comparative and generalCoordinate constructions.401/.9Veale Tony1967-849856UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910462529803321Exploding the creativity myth1938474UNINA
