N2 - This paper will consider the relationship between discourse analysis and creativity and elucidate the ways in which a discourse analytical approach to creativity might be distinguished from the 'language and creativity' approaches which currently dominate applied linguistics and sociolinguistics. In the 'discourse and creativity' approach I will be describing, creativity is located not in language per se, but in the strategic ways people use language in concrete situations in order to stimulate social change. I will explore how aspects of this approach are reflected in work carried out within the paradigm of world Englishes. © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
