Whenever groups of speakers meet for the first time or are in herently fluctuating\, linguistic practices and pragmatic conventions cann ot simply be taken for granted. This observation holds true for English as a lingua franca (ELF) situations\, but also for many other contexts. Over the past two decades\, descriptive studies on ELF communication have demo nstrated that the specific linguistic forms that ELF use takes are influen ced by what Hülmbauer (2009) has called the situationality factor: ELF us e tends to be shaped by the context of an interaction and the multilingual repertoires of the speakers. At the same time\, core processes like accom modative convergence and multilingual elements recur in many ELF settings. Although these processes manifest in the majority of ELF encounters\, the y do so in different ways and by means of different linguistic forms.

This talk draws on data from VOICE (Vienna-Oxford International Co rpus of English) in order to examine creativity (Pitzl 2018a) and eme rgent multilingual practices (e.g. Pitzl 2021) in ELF encounters. The talk will highlight the connection between the two topics – creativity and m ultilingual practices – and examine their relationship with regard to th e notion of Transient International Groups (TIGs) (Pitzl 2018b). In provid ing empirical descriptions that illustrate the emergence of group-specific multilingual practices in different TIGs in VOICE\, the talk will introdu ce some of the basic principles of adopting a micro-diachronic approach to the analysis of spoken interaction (see Pitzl in press).
