The present paper discusses what may be responsible for the creative effect that instances of a family of constructions, the go/get all/full [PROPER NOUN(S)] on Y pattern, appear to have on the hearer. For this purpose, a set of possible properties of creative language use will be discussed and checked against the results of a detailed corpus analysis of the pattern and related structures. Both the speaker's and the hearer's perspectives will be taken into account.
