The Political Speechwriter's Companion guides students through a systematic "LAWS" approach (language, anecdote, wit, and support) that politicians can use to persuade their audiences into taking action. In the highly anticipated Second Edition, esteemed speechwriter and author Robert A. Lehrman has teamed up with one of the "go-to-guys" for political humor, Eric Schnure, to offer students an entertaining yet practical introduction to political speechwriting. This how-to guide explains how speakers can deliver: language the audience will understand and remember, anecdotes that make listeners laugh and cry, wit that pokes fun at opponents but also shows their own lighter side, and support in the way of statistics, examples, and testimony. Packed with annotated speeches from the most recent elections, technology tips, and interviews from speechwriting luminaries, this edition offers the most practical advice and strategies for a career in political communication.

"Splashy slides, confident body language, and a lot of eye contact are fine and well. But if a speech is rambling, illogical, or just plain boring, the impact will be lost. Now everyone can learn to give powerful, on-target speeches that capture an audience's attention and drive home a message. The key is not just in the delivery techniques, but in tapping into the power of language.

Prepared by an award-winning writer, this authoritative speech-writing guide covers every essential element of a great speech, including outlining and organizing, beginning with a bang, making use of action verbs and vivid nouns, and handling questions from the audience. Plus, the book includes excerpts from some of history's most memorable speeches--eloquent words to contemplate and emulate."

Unter dem Rahmenthema "Emotionen" fand am 15./16. April 2016 auf dem Campus Gotland der Universitat Uppsala die 12. Arbeitstagung schwedischer Germanistinnen und Germanisten "Text im Kontext" statt. Der vorliegende Band versammelt ausgewahlte Beitrage, die in ihrer Vielfalt ein aktuelles Bild der Forschungsansatze und -projekte der Germanistik in Schweden vermitteln. Das Spektrum der Beitrage reicht von der Digitalisierung von Stammbuchern aus funf Jahrhunderten bis zur Analyse von Metonymien in den Medien, von Fragen des transkulturellen Erzahlens bis zu neuen Formen der Literatur im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung. Eine Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von metasprachlichem Wissen und Grammatikkenntnissen bei schwedischen Deutschschulern rundet den Band ab. Der Band belegt, dass der Begriff der "Emotionen" sich als geeigneter Ausgangspunkt fur den Dialog von Literaturwissenschaft und Sprachwissenschaft erweist; als verbindende Elemente fungieren vor allem kulturwissenschaftliche Ansatze.

Babies have no problem in vocalising - they cry, loud and long. But as we learn how to speak language, a highly intellectual activity, we increasingly depend on speech and body language to express what we wish to communicate. This is fine for ordinary conversation but there are times for most of us when we need to be able to use our voices to present ourselves in a wider context. Most people are vocally better equipped than they know. Usually some unconscious habit gets in the way. The Voice Book shows you simply and practically what is going wrong - and how to put it right. Whether you are a professional or amateur actor, classical or popular singer, politician, public speaker, or need to present for business, church or college, The Voice Book will help you to discover how to use your voice freely, powerfully and with pleasure.

Die hier versammelten Aufsatze verdeutlichen anhand konkreter Anforderungen und Erfahrungen aus der Kommunikationspraxis, wie linguistisches Wissen zur Bewaltigung kommunikativer Herausforderungen und zur Entwicklung der Kommunikationskompetenz beitragt. Sie unterstreichen das Potenzial angewandter linguistischer Forschung fur den Transfer in Beratungs- und Trainingssituationen. Gleichzeitig rucken Berufsfelder fur Linguistinnen und Linguisten in den Fokus, in denen sich Fachforschung sowie deren praktische Umsetzung erganzen und bereichern. Sprache, Sprachwissen und Sprachreflexion bieten die Grundlagen fur Rhetorikseminare, Gesprachstrainings und fur die Kommunikationsberatung. Die Linguistik kann und sollte dazu einen wesentlichen Beitrag leisten mit Publikationen sowie durch die Vermittlung und Anwendung ihrer Forschung.

Das Thema dieser Arbeit ist die Angleichung oder Nichtangleichung (Akkommodation) verbaler und gestischer Metaphern zwischen Patient und Therapeut in der Psychotherapie. Den theoretischen Ausgangspunkt bildet ein kognitiv-linguistischer Ansatz: Unsere Wahrnehmung von der Welt, wie wir denken und handeln, wie wir uns auf andere beziehen oder uns anderen gegenuber ausdrucken - das alles beruht auf metaphorischen Konzepten. Die Autorin stellt vorerst die theoretischen Grundlagen vor und wendet die Theorie schliesslich praktisch an, indem sie ein Fallbeispiel gesprachsanalytisch untersucht. Als Fallbeispiel dient die Langzeitpsychotherapie einer Patientin mit einer Borderline-Problematik. Sechs audiovisuell aufgezeichnete Therapiestunden aus dem Beginn, dem mittleren Teil und dem Ende der Therapie werden im vorliegenden Band metaphernanalytisch untersucht. Zusatzlich fuhrt die Autorin bei einzelnen auffalligen Sequenzen eine gestische Metaphernanalyse durch. Die Arbeit liefert einen Beitrag an die Grundlagen- und interdisziplinare Forschung.

Welche Funktionen haben "kleine Woerter" wie Diskursmarker und Lautelemente in der Interaktion? Wo und zu welchem Zweck verwenden sie junge Frauen in Gesprachen untereinander? Die empirische Studie untersucht an einem Korpus von Alltagsgesprachen Deutschschweizer Gymnasiastinnen diese genuin mundlichen Phanomene. Als minim referentielle Objekte befinden sie sich an gesprachsorganisatorisch unklaren Stellen und bewegen sich in Bezug auf ihren Status zwischen Laut, Floskel und grammatikalisiertem Element. Die detaillierte mikroanalytische Untersuchung zeigt, wie damit in Kombination mit interaktionalen und diskursiven Verfahren verstarkt und gezielt Gemeinsamkeit in der Interaktion geschaffen werden kann. Theoretisch in der Soziolinguistik, methodisch in der Konversationsanalyse und der Interaktionalen Linguistik angesiedelt, findet die Arbeit Anschluss an interaktionale Forschungsrichtungen sowie an die internationale Jugendsprachforschung und zeigt neue Wege fur dialektologische Fragestellungen auf.

Este libro ofrece un analisis variacionista de la expresion verbal de lo futuro en el espanol de la comunidad de habla bilingue castellano-catalan de Valencia. Se investigan tres variantes: futuro morfologico, futuro perifrastico y presente prospectivo, y los resultados se comparan con los obtenidos en otras comunidades monolingues y bilingues del ambito hispanico. Junto a este estudio comparativo que permite conocer el paradigma alternante en el espanol de ambos lados del Atlantico, la obra aporta nuevos modelos para el tratamiento estadistico de los datos. Frente al programa empleado tradicionalmente en el Variacionismo, Goldvarb, se muestran las ventajas de Rbrul y del paquete SPSS; entre ellas, eliminar los knock-out y realizar analisis de regresion logistica multinomial. Tras identificar los factores internos y externos que estimulan cada marca temporal de futuro, se confirma el cambio en marcha favorable al futuro perifrastico y se corrobora el proceso lento de una doble gramaticalizacion: valor modal del futuro morfologico y valor temporal del futuro perifrastico.
