Download or read book Body Language and Meaning in Conflict Situations written by Orit Sônia Waisman and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original research applies semiotics to linguistic and non-linguistic segments in a text in search of potential correlations between them. The resultant mapping is applied to cases of gesture-word mismatches that are evident in conflict situations. The current study adopts the word systems approach, a sign-based theory that is naturally designed for the analysis of linguistic signs, and extends it to non-linguistic units, borrowing analytical tools from the field of dance movement therapy. The variety of interdisciplinary metaphorical and literal interpretations of the analyzed signs enriches the theoretical framework and facilitates examination of the instances of mismatches. Hence, this study makes a meaningful contribution to the understanding of linguistic/non-linguistic mismatches in situations of conflict. Further, it makes more general claims: the semiotic system underlying this study paves the way for further research of correlations (or lack thereof) between a range of phenomena cutting across sociology, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and political science.

Download or read book Body Language written by John Adamssen and published by Efalon Acies. This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body language can be used for many things. After some basic techniques that involve mirroring and adjusting to people’s moods, the book gets a bit more specific. Several situations are highlighted in which nonverbal communication and social cues can be extremely useful. The first one is negotiations. Imagine if you could read all the signs of the person you are negotiating with. Could you get a better deal if you could read his or her mood? You bet. Do you think you could sense how far they are willing to go better? Sure. Body language is so important during negotiations because nobody typically puts all his or her cards on the table. Another important area in which body language plays a role, is in selling. It’s hard to understand why people accept or reject offers, how much they are willing to pay, and how emotions sway them into making a buying decision or not. So, the more you know about people, the better you become at selling. Do yourself a favor and learn more about these aspects of body language!

Using real-life situations and anecdotes of people confronted with challenging, anger-producing situations, From Rage to Resolution offers methods to help you recognize that even the simplest conflict is intensely complicated; realize why the strategy of dont-get-mad-get-even doesnt solve problems; use the five traditional methods of conflict resolution effectively; become skilled at verbally addressing conflict so that a win-win outcome is assured; mediate a conflict; recognize the relationship between anger/hostility and health/illness. From Rage to Resolution illustrates that there are many opportunities for conflict and resolution every day.
