The present study examined creativity in shaping English-language childrens stories through instructions to arrange random pictures into narratives. The objectives of this study were to identify, i) significant differences in creativity in applying pragmatic discourse to narrative pictures between illustrator and non-illustrator writers; ii) how pragmatic discourse was applied to narrative pictures by both groups of writers; and iii) how narrative pictures were arranged. A total of 40 college students consisting of 20 illustrator writers and 20 non-illustrator writers participated in this study. The present study employed a mixed-method sequential explanatory design. The instruments used are the Mann-Whitney U test, questionnaires and interview The pragmatic approach through picDRT, in conjunction with Blum Kulkas pragmatic discourse, served to elucidate the problem. In the findings, picDRT supports pragmatic discourse, in which picDRT simulates the form of discourse representation by identifying referents and coherence, while pragmatic discourse integrates the functions of social and contextual meaning. Both demonstrate a pragmatic cognitive model for comprehensive understanding of discourse in the verbal and pictorial domains possessed by the story writers.

This study examines the differences in creativity between illustrator and non-illustrator writers in applying pragmatic discourse to narrative pictures.The findings indicate that fluency is a key skill in assessing creativity, as demonstrated in the composition of childrens stories based on random narrative pictures.Specifically, the study found a significant difference between the two groups in pictorial implicature, with illustrator writers demonstrating a greater reliance on this aspect due to their figural abilities.The research highlights the importance of considering both verbal and figural abilities, alongside pragmatic discourse awareness, in creative writing instruction to produce more communicative and meaningful works.

Future research could explore the application of digital tools, such as comics creation software, to enhance the visual storytelling abilities of writers and further investigate the interplay between verbal and visual elements. Additionally, studies could examine the impact of varying levels of artistic skill on the use of implicature and other pragmatic features in narrative construction, potentially involving professional illustrators alongside student participants. Finally, research should investigate how cultural background influences the interpretation of visual narratives and the application of pragmatic discourse, expanding the scope beyond the current studys context to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this complex relationship. These investigations will contribute to a deeper understanding of the cognitive processes involved in creative writing and visual communication, ultimately informing pedagogical practices and fostering more effective storytelling techniques.
