It is a give and take - a continuous, dynamic flow that is linguistically realized as discourse as an on-going sequence of interactants' moves. Interpersonal communication is produced and interpreted by \u003cem\u003eacting linguistically\u003c\/em\u003e, and this makes it a fascinating research area. The handbook, \u003cem\u003eInterpersonal Communication\u003c\/em\u003e, examines how interactants manage to exchange facts, ideas, views, opinions, beliefs, emotion, etc. by using the linguistic systems and the resources they offer. In interpersonal communication, the fine-tuning of individuals' use of the linguistic resources is continuously probed. The language used in interpersonal communication enhances social relations between interactants and keeps the interaction on the normal track. When interaction gets off the track, linguistic miscommunication may also destroy social relationships. This volume is essentially concerned with this fine-tuning in discourse, and how it is achieved among various interactant groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume departs from the following fundamental questions: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow do interpersonal relations manifest themselves \u003cstrong\u003ein language\u003c\/strong\u003e? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the \u003cstrong\u003erole of language \u003c\/strong\u003ein developing and maintaining relationships in interpersonal communication?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat \u003cstrong\u003etypes of problems \u003c\/strong\u003eoccur in interpersonal communication and what kind of strategies and means are used to solve them?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow does linguistically realized interpersonal communication interact with other \u003cstrong\u003esemiotic modes\u003c\/strong\u003e?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpersonal communication is seen and researched from the perspective of what is being said or written, and how it is realized in various generic forms. The current research also gives attention to other semiotic modes which interact with the linguistic modes. It is not just the social roles of interactants in groups, the possible media available, the non-verbal behaviors, the varying contextual frames for communication, but primarily the actual linguistic manifestations that we need to focus upon when we want to have a full picture of what is going on in human interpersonal communication. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is this linguistic perspective that the volume aims to present to all researchers interested in IC. The volume offers an overview of the theories, methods, tools, and resources of linguistically-oriented approaches, e.g. from the fields of linguistics, social psychology, sociology, and semiotics, for the purpose of integration and further development of the interests in IC., \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics e.g.: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrientation to interaction as primarily linguistically realized processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpertise on theorizing and analyzing cultural and situational contexts where linguistic processes are realized\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpertise on handling language corpora\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpertise on theorizing and analyzing interaction types as genres\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrientation to an integrated view of linguistic and non-linguistic participant activities and of how interactants generate meanings and interact with space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpertise on researching the management of the linguistic flow in interaction and its successfulness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110226041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 266\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gerd Antos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403505627317,"sku":"9783110226041","price":71.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4dc21622-9f9f-49b5-8641-c835ff0ed04c.jpg?v=1774969461","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/handbook-of-interpersonal-communication-9783110226041","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
