Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Concise and insightful. The first half focuses on two styles: Language from the Center and Language from the Edge. Speakers tend toward one or the other but need to learn to apply both as appropriate for maximum effectiveness. Her technique for getting there is: Looking In, Looking Out, Trying In, and Trying Out. The last half of the book is about linguistics, conventions, and how communication is changing. I found it both academically and practically interesting. ( ) no reviews | add a review
