=TRIZ and linguistics=

Peter Reusch e.a.


TRIZ is a concepts for creative problem solving based upon principles derived from patents.

Creative problem solving based upon TRIZ is focused on principles established by engineers (segmentation, .. ).

These principles can be reinterpreted and reshaped by linguists.

Linguists are looking for core concepts in languages. And they know that these concepts differ from language to language. And they know that languages shape cognition.

Benjamin Whorf told us about such concepts. Linguistical concepts can by used like the principles of engineers to support creative problem solving.

We will show how linguistics can support TRIZ directly and how linguists can go beyond TRIZ and can support creative problem solving by core concepts of linguistics.
