Neurocognitive Approach to Creativity in the Domain of Word-Invention

One of the simplest creative act is the invention of a new word that captures some characteristics of objects or processes, for example industrial or software products, activity of companies, or the main topic of web pages. Neurocognitive mechanisms responsible for this process are partially understood and in a simplified form may be implemented in a computational model. An algorithm based on such inspirations is described and tested, generating many interesting novel names associated with a set of keywords.
