Shag
Frozen in a block of ice and awakened eleven thousand years later, a woolly mammoth is nursed back to life by a herd of distantly related coos. His existence is discovered by Ian and Ina Stevenson and their friend, Baird, who live a simple life in the hills and dells of the northern Scottish Highlands. When Ina combs the wool from the herd of coos to create exotic yarns, she realizes one animal is much different from the rest. His ragged, fringed coat reminds her of shag carpet, and so the woolly mammoth is named Shag. Shag grows quickly, and he grows so large he fears for the herd's safety and shelters with the Stevensons, who welcome him as a family member into their hearts and home. When megalomaniacal fashion designer Monsieur d'LeFolb and his nine Mo-Dels arrive to stage the ultimate outdoor fashion show in a nearby hamlet, the Stevensons' secret is discovered. Monsieur d'LeFolb desires Shag for himself, and the planned photo shoot turns into a mammoth hunt. Ina, Ian, and Baird vow to protect Shag from this commercial fascist, who not only desires the exquisite wool but plans to clone the animal for use in agedefying cosmetics.
Relationships in Organized Helping
This edited volume offers up-to-date research on the interactive building and managing of relationships in organized helping. Its contributions address this core of helping in psychotherapy, coaching, doctor-patient interaction, and digital helping interaction and document and analyze essential communicative practices of relationship management. A summarizing contribution identifies common dimensions of relationship management across the different helping contexts and thereby provides a framework for understanding and researching how interactive practices and helping relationships are interconnected. The volume brings together researchers and practitioners and merges academic approaches to studying relationships with practical knowledge about verbal helping in these settings. The book is intended for scholars in the field of organized helping as well as for students and researchers of communication and discourse / conversation analysis in professional and organized contexts. It is also addressed to practitioners interested in learning more about the micro- and meso-management of their working relationships.
Reasoning, Necessity, and Logic
A presentation of current work that systematically explores and articulates the nature, origin and development of reasoning, this volume's primary aim is to describe and examine contemporary theory and research findings on the topic of deductive reasoning. Many contributors believe concepts such as "structure," "competence," and "mental logic" are necessary features for a complete understanding of reasoning. As the book emanates from a Jean Piaget Symposium, his theory of intellectual development as the standard contemporary treatment of deductive reasoning is used as the context in which the contributors elaborate on their own perceptions.
Pragmatik der Veränderung
Veränderung gilt als raison dêtre helfender Berufe in Beratung, Psychotherapie, Coaching, Medizin oder Physiotherapie. Die helfenden Interaktionen in den genannten Berufen und die dadurch initiierten und realisierten Veränderungen werden in und durch das Gespräch zwischen den AgentInnen und den KlientInnen / PatientInnen hervorgebracht. Bei diesem Band handelt es sich um eine der ersten Publikationen, die Zugänge zur qualitativen linguistischen Veränderungsforschung in helfenden Berufen bündeln und systematisieren. Pragmatik der Veränderung analysiert und beschreibt das Ko-Konstruieren von Veränderung mikroanalytisch auf der Basis authentischer Gesprächsdaten. Insbesondere werden interaktive Momente und Praktiken identifiziert, in denen Veränderung angestoßen, umgesetzt oder konstatiert wird. Der Band legt so eine theoretische, methodologische und empirische Systematisierung der linguistischen Veränderungsforschung in helfenden Berufen vor.

The Pragmatics of Executive Coaching
The Pragmatics of Executive Coaching is the first linguistic monograph on executive coaching, a recent, not fully professionalized, yet booming helping professional format in the organizational realm. The book is positioned at the interface between applied linguistic analysis and the activity of coaching, coupled with its structuring professional theory. It presents the Basic Activity Model of coaching, a model for the qualitative analysis and description of the discursive co-construction of coaching by coach and client within and across individual coaching sessions and whole processes. The analysis is based on 150 hours of authentic data from the coaching approach Emotionally Intelligent Coaching and presents coaching as hybrid and interdiscursive helping professional format. The gained insights into the discursive layout of coaching interactions advance our linguistic understanding of helping professions as such, contribute to the theoretical and methodological underpinning of coaching and help promote the coaching practice.
Handbook of Management Communication
Management communication encompasses a wide range of practices that define modern organizations. Those practices are, in many respects, constituted, formed and contextualized by the use of language. This handbook traces the theoretical modelling of these practices by contemporary research. It explores their linguistic features and performance in specific situations of value creation and in various modes. It is a companion for students and scholars of applied linguistics and organizational communication as well as management and strategy research.
