Download or read book Persuasion in Specialised Discourses written by Olga Dontcheva-Navratilova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concept of persuasion in written texts for specialist audiences in the English and Czech languages. By exploring a corpus of academic research articles, corporate reports, religious sermons and user manuals the authors aim to reveal similarities and differences in rhetorical strategies across cultures and genres. They draw on Biber and Conrad’s (2009) model for contextualising interaction in specialised discourses, Bell’s (1997) framework for the analysis of participants roles, Swales’ (1990) genre analysis approach for considering genre constraints and Hyland’s (2005) metadiscourse model for investigating writer-reader interaction. The result is a book which will appeal to researchers and students in Discourse Studies, especially those with an interest in genre and rhetorical strategies.

Download or read book Social Media in Legal Practice written by Vijay Bhatia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are multiple aspects of electronically-mediated communication that influence and have strong implications for legal practice. This volume focuses on three major aspects of mediated communication through social media. Part I examines social media and the legal community. It explores how this has influenced professional legal discourse and practice, contributing to the popularity of internet-based legal research, counselling and assistance through online services offering explanations of law, preparing documents, providing evidence, and even encouraging electronically mediated alternative dispute resolution. Part II looks at the use of social media for client empowerment. It examines how it has taken legal practice from a formal and distinct business to one that is publicly informative and accessible. Part III discusses the way forward, exploring the opportunities and challenges. Based on cases from legal practice in diverse jurisdictions, the book highlights key issues as well as implications for legal practitioners on the one hand, and clients on the other. The book will be a valuable reference for international scholars in law and other socio-legal studies, discourse analysis, and practitioners in legal and alternative dispute resolution contexts.

Download or read book Engagement in Professional Genres written by Carmen Sancho Guinda and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engagement has turned essential in today’s communication, as professional communities are becoming more specialised and transient, and their audiences more diverse. Promotionalism and competitiveness, in addition, increasingly pervade human activity, and thus engaging readers, listeners and viewers to attract and persuade them is part of the know-how of almost every profession. The eighteen chapters in this book, written by well-known discourse analysts from different nationalities and research backgrounds, and with various interests and understandings of communicative engagement, guide us through a discovery of perspectives and strategies across work settings and practices, genres, semiotic modes, discourses, disciplines, and theoretical frameworks and methods. They build a mosaic that leads to a broad picture of (meta)discursive engagement as (di)stance and raises current issues, challenges, and future research directions.

This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics. Whether explicit or implicit, it plays a key role in our lives, guiding our decisions and shaping our view of what the world – including the world of business – is or ought to be like. This volume provides a thorough description of the language that is used to encode ethics, to deal with ethical issues, and to express ethical values in business and professional discourses. It explores the relationship between ethics and ethos in a variety of professional and corporate texts and genres, and investigates the role and positioning of ethics in today’s cultural environment, shedding light on how it is negotiated vis-à-vis other values in the pursuit of business and professional goals. Thanks to its rigorous linguistic approach, the analysis fills a significant gap in the burgeoning scholarship on ethics in discourse, laying the ground for a better understanding of what ethical pronouncements do, linguistically and pragmatically.

Situating crisis communication at the centre of societal and political debates about responses to the pandemic, this volume analyses the discursive strategies used in a variety of settings. Exploring how crisis discourse has become a part of managing the public health crisis itself, this book focuses on the communicative tasks and challenges for both speakers and their public audiences in seven areas: - establishment of discursive and political authority - official governmental and expert communication to the public - public understanding of government communication - legitimation of public health management as a 'war' - judging and blaming a collective other - cross-national comparison and rivalry - empathy and encouragement Covering global discourses from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, and New Zealand, chapters use corpus-based data to cast light on these issues from a variety of languages. With crisis discourse already the object of fierce national and international debates about the appropriateness of specific communicative styles, information management and 'verbal hygiene', Pandemic and Crisis Discourse offers an authoritative intervention from language experts.

Download or read book Persuasion written by James W. Williams and published by Alakai Publishing LLC. This book was released on with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you feel lost, or perhaps dependent on others, then you might be the victim of Manipulation. You might feel like others control you too easily, or perhaps you end up in situations you try to wish your way out of. If you often feel lost, or like others have too much power over you, it's time to start identifying the ways that you might be being manipulated. Manipulation is a dangerous tool that can find itself in the hands of anyone. Those who are aware of their influence over other people can choose to do two things with that amount of control. They can use it for good, to lead others and help a community thrive. It can also be used to take advantage of people, and unfortunately, this is the path that many choose. Stanley Milgram's psychological study on the influence people can have over each other proves that anyone can be manipulated under the right circumstances. It's never easy for an individual to admit that they might be the victim of manipulation, but it's an important step in order to recover from the damage manipulation has caused. Those that have been manipulated often feel like they don't have a strong individual sense. They might become codependent on the person that has manipulated them for so long. It can be a hopeless feeling for a person to realize they have been manipulated. Although it's not always easy to overcome, breaking free of manipulation is possible. There are a few important steps it takes to become free of manipulation in one's life. First, they have to confront the fact that they have been manipulated. They then have to figure out who is doing the manipulation and how it's being done. After that, they have to confront the manipulator as well as the issue that has caused the problematic situation. The book will aim to explore what manipulative behavior is at its core. In Persuasion, you will discover: How you are being manipulatedWhat happens to victims of manipulationThe profile of a manipulatorHow your map of reality is createdWays you're being subliminally persuadedWhat a cold reading isHow to confront your manipulator And much, much more! Even if you feel as though you have a good control over yourself and don't let others manipulate you, there are still some important tools to be learned throughout this book. The more you know about manipulation, the better you'll be able to stop it, even if you don't think you're being that manipulated. The book will also discuss two more very insidious and dangerous ways that someone might manipulate others. The first one is by using NLP tactics, which basically aims to alter the beliefs and ideas of a person. The last method of manipulation discussed is that of subliminal persuasion. This is a very dangerous form of manipulation that goes unnoticed by most people. The book is one in a series, so it is best to be read with the others. There still lies important information in each individual book that can help a person recognize, remedy, and resolve their manipulation.
