The phenomenon has focused particularly on syntactic structures and word formation. Explanations for new or unusual sentence structures and clever word combinations have been sought in both human cognitive mechanisms and the social nature of language. At the same time, consideration has been given to what creativity in grammar is on a conceptual level and how it relates to e.g. productivity and conventionalization. For example, a distinction has been made between so-called F-creativity (fixed creativity) and E-creativity (extending creativity) (Bergs 2019; Sampson 2016). F-creativity refers to linguistic creativity in which new expressions are created according to existing patterns in a language, while E-creativity breaks and thus expands the conventions upheld within a given linguistic community. F-creativity is therefore conventional while E-creativity is creativity that transcends existing conventions. An example of the former could be the neologism <em>mummue <\/em>\u2018collective of grandmas\u2019, which The Institute for the Languages of Finland\u00a0presents as one of its word picks for 2025. Another would be <em>pinkero<\/em> \u2018pink lonkero\u2019 (a pink coloured long drink, typical in Finland)? The structure <em>koska<\/em> + N \u2018because N\u2019 (<em>En mennyt elokuviin <strong>koska sade<\/strong><\/em> I didn&#8217;t go to the movies because the rain\u2019), which occurs in informal language use, might be considered a case of E-creativity \u2013 or can it? What kind of creativity is involved in expressions where the speaker unknowingly stretches the boundaries of other speakers\u2019 linguistic intuitions, for example with an unusual agreement patterns as in (<em>mulla s\u00e4rkee p\u00e4\u00e4<strong>h\u00e4n<\/strong><\/em> \u2018My hade aches\u2019)?<\/p>\n<p>Playing with language and fictional language use that breaks existing norms are of course age-old phenomena. Relating creativity to grammar and language use more broadly is nothing new in itself, nor is it limited to a specific frame of reference: numerous studies dealing with language learning and language change, for example, are related in some way to the human ability to use language innovatively. Can new and interesting observations still be made about the relationship between creativity and grammar?<\/p>\n<p>We invite researchers interested in creativity and grammar from different theoretical backgrounds and research languages to participate in our workshop. In the workshop, we will examine creativity through the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is creativity in the context of grammar on a conceptual level?<\/li>\n<li>What defines linguistic creativity?<\/li>\n<li>Where are the boundaries between productivity and creativity on the one hand, and creativity and conventionality on the other?<\/li>\n<li>Are syntactic and lexical innovations different in nature?<\/li>\n<li>Is creative grammar an intentional activity on the part of the language user, or can it also be unintentional?<\/li>\n<li>Is the experience of grammatical creativity shared across the entire language community?<\/li>\n<li>What methods and materials can be used to examine creativity in grammar?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other perspectives on grammar and creativity are also welcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bergs,\u00a0Alexander 2019:\u00a0What, if anything, is linguistic creativity?\u00a0<em>Gestalt Theory<\/em>\u00a041:2,\u00a0173\u2013183.<\/p>\n<p>Bergs,\u00a0Alexander\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Kompa,\u00a0Nikola 2020: Creativity within and outside the linguistic system.\u00a0<em>Cognitive Semiotics<\/em>\u00a013:1,\u00a01\u201321.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg, Adele 2019:\u00a0<em>Explain me this: Creativity, competition, and the partial productivity of constructions.<\/em>\u00a0Princeton: Princeton University Press.<\/p>\n<p>Hartmann,\u00a0Stefan\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Ungerer,\u00a0Tobias 2024:\u00a0Attack of the snowclones: A corpus-based analysis of extravagant formulaic patterns.\u00a0<em>Journal of Linguistics<\/em>\u00a060:3, 599\u2013634.<\/p>\n<p>Hoffmann, Thomas &amp; Turner, Mark 2025: <em>Creative Construction Grammar. <\/em>Elements in Cognitive Linguistics.

What are the most suitable ways to make such materials digitally available for contemporary research, and other potential uses, is\u00a0a very broad\u00a0question for which all solutions have certainly not yet been explored. For decades, especially minority languages spoken in Russia were studied using folkloric collections or other corpora gathered by fieldworkers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over the past few decades, many of these corpora have been actively digitized and published online, while new corpora are also being collected and published. This also introduces an important historical dimension to these materials.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The older collections from Finno-Ugric languages\u00a0represent\u00a0a wealth of important material which is nowadays unavailable due to changes in the languages, speech communities, and political atmosphere. The text collections typically include material from older speakers (at the time of collecting, i.e., from the 19th century), and texts from multiple dialects, aiming to\u00a0represent\u00a0primarily the spoken language. Therefore, their digitization is a worthwhile goal. However, this goal is not straightforward: The collections are published as printed books with differing and sometimes quite complicated transcriptions. The printed volumes must be scanned and manually proofread.\u00a0Optical Character Recognition must be applied to them before they are accessible digitally in any meaningful way. Even then, the collections lack annotation and other properties typical for modern corpora. This means that the digitization process requires work of specialists, which, in turn, needs funding. The acquisition of funding for digitization might not be easy to get, as the importance of the work\u00a0frequently\u00a0escapes the funders. It is thus imperative to\u00a0come up with\u00a0reasonable arguments for the digitization, or even explore other possibilities, like coupling the digitization with separate research projects. What types of combined digitization and research projects would best offer the needed synergies and mutual benefits is also not a question with obvious answers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Digitization as a process, financial questions, copyright-related issues, and various practical challenges have arisen. The aim of the workshop is to bring together knowledge both about available materials and about challenges and solutions related to digitization processes. Papers on any Finno-Ugric minority language are welcome. Both historical and recently collected corpora are accepted.

Language, the\u00a0use\u00a0of power and authority are linked to each other, and are strongly visible in, for example, wartime news,\u00a0propaganda\u00a0and political manipulation. In crisis situations, the use of sharp language is emphasized. Propaganda has also been studied in relation to the war in Ukraine (studies by, for example, Mats Bergman, University of Helsinki). In addition to propaganda, we\u00a0wish\u00a0to focus on\u00a0what\u00a0language\u00a0use is like on\u00a0different\u00a0language\u00a0levels in other acute crisis situations. What kind of linguistic features do\u00a0motivational speeches\u00a0have that\u00a0encourage\u00a0fearful young men to rush into battle, where they may die? And what kind of phonetics and prosody does an autocrat produce who, based on a mere security threat, makes\u00a0their\u00a0subjects obey\u00a0their\u00a0orders? Even more interesting is whether these means differ from each other in, for example, democracies and authoritarian cultures. In their study of Central Asian languages,\u00a0Yurayong\u00a0et al. (2025) noted that, for example, adverbs of frequency (e.g.\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">always<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">;\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">never<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) can be\u00a0utilized\u00a0as tools of power and authority in discourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the conceptual (or philosophical) level, however, Western (democratic) cultures\u00a0seem to emphasize\u00a0the importance of freedom so strongly that\u00a0on\u00a0lexical\u00a0level,\u00a0it has even been borrowed into fiction (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Lord of the Rings<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Braveheart<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, etc.). The theme\u00a0seems to be\u00a0a direct continuation\u00a0from\u00a0antiquity, which has produced examples\u00a0of\u00a0encouragement, even into\u00a0world\u00a0literature,\u00a0for\u00a0citizens to go to war\u00a0&#8211; most often to preserve independence.

Discourse presentation has been examined in both spoken and written language, and it has also served as a meeting point for linguistics, literary criticism, and stylistics (Leech &amp; Short 2007 [1981]; see also Koivisto &amp; Nyk\u00e4nen 2013; Tiittula &amp; Nuolij\u00e4rvi 2013). It is a phenomenon that permeates language use and can shed light on various discursive and interactional as well as grammatical and semantic issues. Research on the reporting of speech, thought, and writing has the potential to open perspectives on diverse types of materials: e.g., conversational data, fiction and non-fiction, expository texts, blogs, social media discussions, and journalistic texts in written and audio formats.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 1990s, Finnish research has primarily addressed textual and pragmatic aspects of reported speech. Recently, studies have explored its practices and functions in various genres, such as journalistic texts (Haapanen 2017), school essays (Paldanius 2019), travel literature (Lindh 2021), and non-fiction (Vitikka 2023). Interest has also grown in the relationship between types of speech representation and the construction of narrative meanings (Peltola 2023; J\u00e4rvinen 2025; Nurmi 2025). Approaches are diverse: interactional linguistics, systemic-functional and cognitive frameworks, sociolinguistic and discourse-analytic perspectives, second language acquisition, and methods from text studies and conversation analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years after the anthology <em>Referointi ja moni\u00e4\u00e4nisyys<\/em> (Haakana &amp; Kalliokoski 2005), we examine what Finnish research on reported discourse, intertextuality, and polyphony looks like in the 2020s. We invite all those interested in reported speech, writing, and thought to present their research, which may address the theme in different languages, theoretical frameworks, and types of data. Topics may include references to other texts or speech events, signaling and managing polyphony in discourse, forms and functions of quoting in narratives, or strategies for recontextualizing prior speech or discourse in spoken, signed, or written language.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will consist of 15\u201320-minute presentations followed by a concluding discussion. The main working language will be Finnish, but presentations may also be given in Swedish or English. Please send proposals by 6 February to Saila J\u00e4rvinen (saila.e.jarvinen@helsinki.fi).<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Haakana, Markku &amp; Kalliokoski, Jyrki (toim.) 2005: <em>Referointi ja moni\u00e4\u00e4nisyys.<\/em> Tietolipas 206.

Outside the private sphere, measures implemented by other actors in public administration, education, and the workplace promote or hinder individuals\u2019 linguistic rights, equal participation, and the accessibility, cultural and economic sustainability, or democracy of society.<\/p>\n<p>In this workshop, the participants share expertise on a broad range of topics and exchange perspectives on the current language situation and language policy in Finland. What problems exist at different levels and in different areas of language policy? How should these problems be solved, and by whom? What common goals do the various parties have, and what potential conflicts exist within the society?<\/p>\n<p>The workshop aims to promote dialogue between researchers of domestic and foreign languages. Perspectives will cover key areas of language policy, including language planning, language education policy, translation policy, linguistic measures in institutions and working life, and minority and endangered languages.<\/p>\n<p>Presentations may be given in Finnish, Swedish, English, or another language if necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The workshop program<\/strong> consists of a) presentations by researchers on various aspects of language policy and different languages and b) final comments by invited researchers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"accordion-block_46bbb8d230b07884eed2928404038680\" class=\"accordions\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion accordion-js\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion__button\" aria-controls=\"content-3938\" aria-expanded=\"false\" id=\"accordion-control-3938\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion__heading\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVideo recordings and transcribed records of parliamentary debates\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-control-3938\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"content-3938\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Organizers:\u00a0<\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Jenni R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen (University of Helsinki),\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kirsi Sandberg (Tampere\u00a0University)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0&amp;\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eero Voutilainen\u00a0(University of Helsinki)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshop program<\/strong>\u00a0(abstracts open\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/kielitieteenpaivat2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/565\/2026\/03\/Parlamentti_Abstraktit.pdf\">from this link<\/a>)<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 768px\" width=\"657\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"592\">Tuesday, 19 May<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">10:45-11:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Kirsi Sandberg, Eero Voutilainen &amp; Jenni R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen: N\u00e4k\u00f6kulmia parlamenttien videotallenteisiin ja keskustelup\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjoihin tutkimusaineistoina<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">11:00-11:20<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Johanna Isos\u00e4vi &amp; Eero Voutilainen: V\u00e4lihuutojen tutkiminen p\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjojen avulla: vertailussa Suomen eduskunta, Ranskan Assembl\u00e9e nationale ja Saksan Bundestag<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">11:20-11:40<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Jenni R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen: Vastuu\u202fSuomen eduskunnan ja Iso-Britannian parlamentin alahuoneen puheenvuoroissa 2022\u20132025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">11:40-12:00<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Krista Leipivaara: Tasa-arvoiseen kielenk\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n liittyv\u00e4t kieli-ideologiat: aineistona Belgian, Ranskan ja Sveitsin parlamenttien keskustelup\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">12:00-12:20<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Janne Kr\u00f6ger: Metapragmaattinen tietoisuus ja metapragmaattinen regimentaatio tulokulmina diskurssiin: tapaukset \u201dErm\u00e4chtigung\u201d ja \u201dAusnahmezustand\u201d Saksan liittop\u00e4ivien koronatoimidebateissa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"498\"><em>Lunch 12.20-13.30<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">13.30-13.50<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">P\u00e4ivikki Karhula: T\u00e4ysistuntojen puheenvuorojen k\u00e4ytt\u00f6 avoimena datana eduskunnan uudistetussa verkkopalvelussa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">13.50-14.10<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Kimmo Elo: \u201dRollingLDA\u201d ty\u00f6kaluna topiikkien pitk\u00e4n aikav\u00e4lin muutosten havainnoimiseksi: esimerkkin\u00e4 eduskuntakeskustelut perusoikeuksiin liittyen 1960\u20132025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">14.10-14.30<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Anna Ristil\u00e4: Topics, Languages, and Emotions in Finnish Parliamentary Plenary Speech: A Topic Landscape Perspective<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">14.30-14.50<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Leena Manninen: Sananvapausdiskurssit kansanedustajien t\u00e4ysistuntopuheenvuoroissa vuosina 2023\u20132025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">14.50-15.10<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Kirsi Sandberg: Parlamentaarisen retoriikan muutoksen tutkiminen t\u00e4ysistuntop\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjoista: yhdyssanat ajassa, hallituksessa ja oppositiossa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\">15:10-15:30<\/td>\n<td width=\"498\">Eero Voutilainen: T\u00e4ysistuntop\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjat aineistona vuorovaikutuksen normien ja ohjailun tutkimuksessa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshop description<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Parliamentary speeches and contributions to plenary debates are at the core of representative democracy. These speeches can reach a wide audience, and for this reason the linguistic choices made in them can shape our worldview and how society functions (van Dijk 1995). Furthermore, plenary sessions with the variety of institutional speech types given in them form a deliberative genre of its own \u2013\u202fone that is characterised by norms and rules, various simultaneous audiences as well as a range of rhetorical goals (cf. Ilie 2017).<\/p>\n<p>Globally, parliamentary corpora have been widely used in linguistic studies, while such studies utilising data from the plenary sittings of the Finnish Parliament are still scarce (Sandberg 2025). The existing body of research on parliamentary speeches given in the Finnish parliament is published mainly in social sciences. The digitised data of the Finnish parliamentary sessions that researchers can now use is extensive and spans a long historical time period. Furthermore, video recordings of the sessions of the last few decades are available for a more detailed speech analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Linguistic analysis of parliamentary data can shed light on the specialised language of parliamentary speech and the societies these parliaments represent (Tyrkk\u00f6 and Kotze 2023: 1). While a social scientist tends to ask what the members of parliament talk about, a linguist is more interested in how they talk. However, using official parliamentary reports as data can pose certain challenges for linguistic analysis. For instance, transcription and editorial practices vary from country to country, making cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparisons difficult. Moreover, post-editing of contributions in the reports raises questions about whether such analyses provide insight into the language used in the parliamentary sittings themselves or rather the language of the reports (e.g., Slembrouck 1992; Voutilainen 2023).<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this workshop is to bring together linguists who utilise video recordings or transcripts of parliamentary sittings in their research. We welcome individual researchers and research teams interested in parliamentary discourse and rhetoric, representing diverse research traditions and methodological approaches to present their work, share experiences and discuss different ways of using these data in linguistic studies. Presentations at the workshop can be held in Finnish or English and may focus on video recordings or reports of sittings in any country. They can also be multi- or interdisciplinary. Here are some examples of possible topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What types of methodological approaches are suitable for studying parliamentary corpora?<\/li>\n<li>What kinds of linguistic phenomena can be studied using video recordings from parliamentary sittings as data?<\/li>\n<li>How are parliamentary sittings and the official transcripts related? What types of challenges do transcription traditions pose for linguistic research?<\/li>\n<li>What differences exist between parliamentary reports of different countries and between transcripts produced in different time periods?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ilie, Cornelia 2017: Parliamentary debates. \u2013 Ruth Wodak &amp; Bernhard Forchtner (eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Language and Politics, pp. 309\u2013 325 London: Routledge.<\/p>\n<p>Sandberg, Kirsi, 2025: Eduskunnan t\u00e4ysistuntop\u00f6yt\u00e4kirjat, ajankohtainen parlamentaarisen kielen aineisto. \u2013 Viritt\u00e4j\u00e4 129(4), 558\u2013565. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.23982\/vir.176095<\/p>\n<p>Slembrouck, Stef 1992: The Parliamentary Hansard \u201cVerbatim\u201d Report: The Written Construction of Spoken Discourse. \u2013 Language and Literature: International Journal of Stylistics 1(2): 101\u201319. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/096394709200100202.<\/p>\n<p>Tyrkk\u00f6, Jukka \u2013 Kotze, Haidee 2023: Perspectives on parliamentary discourse\u202f: From corpus linguistics to cultural analytics. \u2013 Jukka Tyrkk\u00f6, Minna Korhonen &amp; Haidee Kotze (eds.), Exploring Language and Society with Big Data: Parliamentary Discourse Across Time and Space space, pp. 1\u201316.
