Описание: Humans are imperfect, and problems of speaking, hearing and understanding are pervasive in ordinary interaction. This book examines the way we `repair` and correct such problems. The first book-length study of this topic, it brings together a team of scholars from the fields of anthropology, communication, linguistics and sociology.
Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Dutch but simply didn't have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work--discoveries that are detailed further in this book--Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant--now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Dutch, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to the Netherlands, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. This is one of the several, in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany Method's revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses its unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all with hundreds of pages in order to learn a language. With Conversational Dutch Quick and Easy, all you need are forty-six pages. Learn Dutch today, not tomorrow, and get started now

Описание:
Sleight of Mouth is about the magic of words and language. Language is one of the key representational systems from which we build our mental models of the world, and has a tremendous influence upon how we perceive and respond to the world around us.
As Sigmund Freud pointed out, "Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing." The right words at the right time can be uplifting, changing the course of someone's life for the better; opening up new vistas and possibilities. Unfortunately, words can also confuse and limit us as easily as they can empower us. The wrong words at the wrong time can be hurtful and damaging.
Sleight of Mouth patterns come from the study of how language has been, and can be, used to make an impact on people's lives and emotions. This book represents over twenty years of study and practice with respect to the influence of language and its potential to change our lives. Author Robert Dilts (whose other works include Visionary Leadership Skills, Strategies of Genius, Dynamic Learning and Modeling With NLP) has examined the language patterns of people such as Socrates, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Adolph Hitler, Milton Erickson and Jesus of Nazareth. Sleight of Mouth patterns are made up of verbal categories and distinctions by which key beliefs can be established, shifted or transformed through language.
Generally, Sleight of Mouth patterns can be characterized as "verbal reframes" which influence beliefs, and the mental maps from which beliefs have been formed. These patterns provide a powerful tool for persuasion and conversational belief change. This book is about the power of words to be either helpful or harmful, the distinctions that determine the type of impact words will have, and the language patterns through which we can transform harmful statements into helpful ones.
Описание: Abstract: This study investigates the use of Dutch in conversational interactions by second generation Moroccan immigrants. In view of the complexity of the speech situation of particularly the older second generation, a framework for analysis was adopted which applies a sociolinguistic and ethnographic perspective to second language (L2) acquisition and intercultural communication. Speech data were obtained from a total of forth-three subjects living in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The L2 conversational competence of two groups of nineteen Moroccan subjects was assessed based on ten conversations with students integrated in the Dutch school system and eight conversations with students who attended International Linking Classes, a transitional type of education for newly-arrived immigrant children. Quantitative data were used in addition to qualitative observations to relate conversational and sociodemographic variables to proficiency in spoken discourse. Results indicate that though both groups of second language learners were proficient in maintaining conversational interaction, they employed different turn-taking strategies. Length of residence (LOR) and age at arrival were found to be more strongly correlated with conversational variables than age, which correlated with simultaneous speech only. Cultural differences in discourse style were observed with respect to frequency of turn-taking and simultaneous speech episodes. In addition, analysis of an extended conversation in Dutch with five young adult Moroccans revealed a number of discourse strategies which were different from those employed by native speakers of Dutch. For instance, (1) continuous use of back-channel utterances served to re-establish conversational control; (20 organization of discourse topic contributed to a more formal style of argumentation; (3) simultaneous speech functioned as a solidarity strategy; and (4) frequent repetitions of utterances maintained cohesion and intensified the argumentative structure.

Описание: This book presents a new diagnostic information methodology to assess the quality of conversational telephone speech. For this, a conversation is separated into three individual conversational phases (listening, speaking, and interaction), and for each phase corresponding perceptual dimensions are identified. A new analytic test method allows gathering dimension ratings from non-expert test subjects in a direct way. The identification of the perceptual dimensions and the new test method are validated in two sophisticated conversational experiments. The dimension scores gathered with the new test method are used to determine the quality of each conversational phase, and the qualities of the three phases, in turn, are combined for overall conversational quality modeling. The conducted fundamental research forms the basis for the development of a preliminary new instrumental diagnostic conversational quality model. This multidimensional analysis of conversational telephone speech is a major landmark towards deeply analyzing conversational speech quality for diagnosis and optimization of telecommunication systems.
