“Creativity is not a capacity of special people but a special capacity of all people. It shows speakers as language makers and not simply as language users”!
I find this conclusion absolutely fantastic!

It comes at the end of the book titled: “Language and Creativity: the Art of Common Talk” written by Ron Carter -professor at Nottingham University- and published by Routeledge (second edition, 2016).

Two fundamental points of this statement deserve to be highlighted: 1) “Creativity is a special capacity of all people” and 2) “Creativity shows speakers as language makers not simply language users”
