Historically, the social aspects of language use have been considered the domain of social psychology, while the underlying psycholinguistic mechanisms have been the purview of cognitive psychology. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that these two dimensions are highly interrelated: cognitive mechanisms underlying speech production and comprehension interact with social psychological factors, such as beliefs about one's interlocutors and politeness norms, and with the dynamics of the conversation itself, to produce shared meaning. This realization has led to an exciting body of research integrating the social and cognitive dimensions which has greatly increased our understanding of human language use.
Each chapter in this volume demonstrates how the theoretical approaches and research methods of social and cognitive psychology can be successfully interwoven to provide insight into one or more fundamental questions about the process of interpersonal communication. The topics under investigation include the nature and role of speaker intentions in the communicative process, the production and comprehension of indirect speech and figurative language, perspective-taking and conversational collaboration, and the relationships between language, cognition, culture, and social interaction. The book will be of interest to all those who study interpersonal language use: social and cognitive psychologists, theoretical and applied linguists, and communication researchers.

The series of Interdisciplinary Conferences on Production, Logistics and Traffic (ICPLT) address the research community as well as practitioners in these fields with special attention to links and interfaces between the three disciplines. The fourth ICPLT in particular deals with technology from intralogistics to automated trucking driving as well as the societal aspects of commercial transport. To contribute to a high-level and beneficial exchange between authorities in politics and municipalities with researchers and practitioners in production and logistics management the ICPLT has asked for contributions from the three disciplines to better understand innovative technologies, best practises and latest results. These contributions have been evaluated and selected based on a double-blind review process to become part of this book. It comprises 21 contributions examining trends and challenges for commercial transport as the essential link for production, logistics and society. Therefore, innovative technologies and strategies are presented and discussed to better understand the interdependencies, conflicts of interest and to develop feasible solutions. Topics * Simulation & Optimization in Production and Logistics * Freight Transport Demand Modelling * Intralogistics & Logistics Facilities * Policy & Human Factors * Production & Maintenance * Supply Chain Management * Sustainable Logistics & Energy Target Groups * Representatives of public authorities, municipalities & politics * Actors of sectoral, transport & spatial planning * Actors of production & logistics * Researchers in the disciplines production, logistics, transport & spatial planning

Finally, a book that deals with stray cats; a how-to guide to trapping and dealing with a stray cat. As a pet owner, animal lover and director of a humane organization that deals with stray cats every day, this book gives us one more tool to offer to people who want to help the thousands of strays that wander our streets. Bravo Joseph J. Sprague, Jr., Executive Director, Tree House Animal Foundation
""Tamara Kreuz cares about the plight of stray and feral cats and gives practical ways to help them. Individuals and shelters can benefit from this book. If those who find stray animals can themselves set about to help by finding homes for domestic strays, or by creating safe havens for feral cats, this will make life a lot easier for shelter personnel, who are all too often overburdened by the number of animals they receive. We highly recommend The Stray Cat Handbook."" Louise Holton and Becky Robinson, Co-founders, Alley Cat Allies: The National Feral Cat Network

“Why didn’t they understand me? I was as clear as I could be.” Everyone has had this thought at one time or another. Research from the fields of psychology and cognitive science can provide concrete answers to these questions. In Failing to Communicate, Dr. Roger Kreuz explores the answers to these questions We are exposed to the dangers of miscommunication early in life. As children, we play the Telephone Game and learn an important lesson about the fragility of long communication chains. And as adults, we are constantly on the lookout for misunderstanding. People interrupt each other, on average, about every ninety seconds in order to check their understanding. Despite such vigilance, however, a great deal of what is said and written is not understood as intended. Miscommunication has led to military defeats, the loss of spacecraft, and even more tragically, accidents that cost human lives. It plays a role in road rage and social media feuds. It haunts the courtroom, the boardroom, and the singles bar. Failing to Communicate includes dozens of such examples and explains them in light of what researchers have discovered about how communication works—and why it so often fails. Research from psychology and cognitive science has revealed a host of specific factors that contribute to misunderstanding. Some of these have to do with how our minds make sense of what we hear and read, while others are the result of cognitive, social, and cultural factors. The very structure of a given language can be problematic as well. In short, there is no one reason for miscommunication: there are a host of underlying causes. Issues of misunderstanding have only multiplied as new mediums for communication have arisen. Emails, texts, and social media posts are even more problematic because they are impoverished modes of communication. Without facial cues, tone of voice, gestures, and even the creative use of silence, our intentions in these text-only mediums are even more likely to go awry. Failing to Communicate is intended to appeal, from beginning to end, to the general reader who wants to know more about why our attempts at communication fail so often

How adult learners can draw upon skills and knowledge honed over a lifetime to master a foreign language. Adults who want to learn a foreign language are often discouraged because they believe they cannot acquire a language as easily as children. Once they begin to learn a language, adults may be further discouraged when they find the methods used to teach children don't seem to work for them. What is an adult language learner to do? In this book, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from psychology and cognitive science to show that adults can master a foreign language if they bring to bear the skills and knowledge they have honed over a lifetime. Adults shouldn't try to learn as children do; they should learn like adults. Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that adults can learn new languages even more easily than children. Children appear to have only two advantages over adults in learning a language: they acquire a native accent more easily, and they do not suffer from self-defeating anxiety about learning a language. Adults, on the other hand, have the greater advantages-gained from experience-of an understanding of their own mental processes and knowing how to use language to do things. Adults have an especially advantageous grasp of pragmatics, the social use of language, and Roberts and Kreuz show how to leverage this metalinguistic ability in learning a new language. Learning a language takes effort. But if adult learners apply the tools acquired over a lifetime, it can be enjoyable and rewarding.

Mit der Vorlage dieser politikwissenschaftlichen Untersuchung einer in der bundes deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte einzigartigen Organisation kommen dreijahrige Forschungen zu einem gewissen Abschluss. Nicht nur eine allgemeine Verpflichtung, sondern ein personliches Bedurfnis ver anlasst mich, Herrn Professor Hans-Adolf Jacobsen fur seine Geduld, seine Anregungen und seine Hilfe, die ich in den vergangenen Jahren in Anspruch nehmen durfte, zu danken. Die Geschaftsfuhrung des Kuratoriums Unteilbares Deutschland, namentlich die Herren Gerd HonsAlek und Gunter Totte, verschaffte mir die Moglichkeit, sowohl die uberaus grosse Zahl der Kuratoriumsakten auszuwerten als auch die notwendigen und hilfreichen Kontakte mit "Informationstragern" .zu knupfen. Dafur sage ich Dank, denn ohne diese Hilfe hatte die Studie nicht angefertigt werden konnen. Auch habe ich mich bei meinen Eltern, Freundinnen und Freunden zu bedanken, die mir in den vergangenen Jahren Mut zusprachen und zu jeglicher Unterstutzung bereit waren. Das Manuskript wurde im Dezember 1978 abgeschlossen. Leo Kreuz Bonn, im Juni 1979 11 Einleitung Als im Sommer 1974 das Kuratorium Unteilbares Deutschland (KUD) den zwan zigsten Jahrestag seiner Grundung feierte, geschah dies, ohne in der breiten Offentlich keit Beachtung zu finden. Lediglich der aufmerksame Zeitungsleser konnte an wenig privilegierter Stelle eine Notiz hierzu finden; die Presse, die sich in den vergangenen Jahren intensiv mit dem KUD beschaftigt hatte, konnte sich zu einer Bilanz oder Wurdigung nicht aufraffen. Dabei scheinen z.B. die Fragen nach dem innerorganisa torischen Aufbau, der personellen Ausstattung und dem Agieren des KUD im politi schen Alltag der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht nur von politikwissenschaftlichem Interesse zu sein."
