Soc sensible: Aprendre a conviure amb l'alta sensibilitat
by Anna RomeuUn llibre que explica com reconèixer aquest tret de personalitat i dona eines i tècniques a les persones amb alta sensibilitat per autoregular-se i viure de manera més serena. Ets molt autoexigent o perfeccionista? Et molesten els sorolls forts? Tens molta empatia i no suportes el conflicte? Dones moltes voltes a les coses i no suportes les converses superficials? El més probable és que tinguis alta sensibilitat. I què vol dir, això? Les persones que són altament sensibles són molt intenses des del punt de vista sensorial i emocional, i això fa que les seves pròpies reaccions els puguin arribar a portar a estats de saturació, de bloqueig o d'estrès si no saben com gestionar aquest tret de personalitat en el seu dia a dia. També són persones a qui els encanta ajudar els altres perquè els fa sentir bé, per aquest motiu els costa dir que no i se senten culpables quan no arriben a tot. Es calcula que una de cada quatre persones són altament sensibles. Un llibre que serà de gran ajuda per a les persones altament sensibles, per a aquells que hi conviuen o per a pares o mares amb nens amb alta sensibilitat.

Social and Cognitive Approaches to Interpersonal Communication
by Susan R. Fussell Roger J. KreuzHistorically, the social aspects of language use have been considered the domain of social psychology, while the underlying psycholinguistic mechanisms have been the purview of cognitive psychology. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that these two dimensions are highly interrelated: cognitive mechanisms underlying speech production and comprehension interact with social psychological factors, such as beliefs about one's interlocutors and politeness norms, and with the dynamics of the conversation itself, to produce shared meaning. This realization has led to an exciting body of research integrating the social and cognitive dimensions which has greatly increased our understanding of human language use. Each chapter in this volume demonstrates how the theoretical approaches and research methods of social and cognitive psychology can be successfully interwoven to provide insight into one or more fundamental questions about the process of interpersonal communication. The topics under investigation include the nature and role of speaker intentions in the communicative process, the production and comprehension of indirect speech and figurative language, perspective-taking and conversational collaboration, and the relationships between language, cognition, culture, and social interaction. The book will be of interest to all those who study interpersonal language use: social and cognitive psychologists, theoretical and applied linguists, and communication researchers.

Social Class, the Nominal Group and Verbal Strategies (Routledge Revivals)
by P R HawkinsFirst published in 1977, Social Class, the Nominal Group and Verbal Strategies reports on the results of a grammatical analysis of the speech of a large sample (about 300) of five-year-old middle- and working-class children. The author is concerned in particular to answer the questions: What is the relationship, within certain restricted contexts, between the use of particular grammatical structures and factors such as social class, IQ and sex? How are any differences in the type or frequency of structures to be interpreted? The central part of the book presents the results of a set of correlations: the correlations of linguistic categories on the one hand, with sociological or ‘background’ categories on the other. The author then sets this study and its results in the perspective of related research and comments on some aspects of the ‘deficit-difference’ controversy. Finally, he presents his own conclusions in a detailed discussion. He argues that, instead of trying to ascertain the purely linguistic competence of children from different backgrounds, we must rather compare the different verbal strategies they use in a particular situation or context. The book will be of interest to students of language, linguistics, pedagogy and education.

Social Currency: Paying Attention to What Everyone is Paying Attention to

Even though you’re more productive than usual, you don’t feel rushed or impatient with yourself.

A Social History of Contemporary Democratic Media (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)
by Jesse DrewThe last few decades have helped dispel the myth that media should remain driven by high-end professionals and market share. This book puts forward the concept of "communications from below" in contrast to the "globalization from above" that characterizes many new developments in international organization and media practices. By examining the social and technological roots that influence current media evolution, Drew allows readers to understand not only the Youtubes and Facebooks of today, but to anticipate the trajectory of the technologies to come. Beginning with a look at the inherent weaknesses of the U.S. broadcasting model of mass media, Drew outlines the early 1960s and 1970s experiments in grassroots media, where artists and activists began to re-engineer electronic technologies to target local communities and underserved audiences. From these local projects emerged national and international communications projects, creating production models, social networks and citizen expectations that would challenge traditional means of electronic media and cultural production. Drew’s perspective puts the social and cultural use of the user at the center, not the particular media form. Thus the structure of the book focuses on the local, the national, and the global desire for communications, regardless of the means.
Social Identity and Discourses in Chinese Digital Communication (Routledge Studies in Sociolinguistics)
by Hongqiang Zhu Debing Feng Xinren ChenExamining how diverse social identities are constructed in digital communication in China, this edited collection provides a multidimensional exploration of the diverse, discursive forms and practices used to construct and present the “self” online.

Diverse methodologies are applied throughout, incorporating insights from both linguistic theories and semiotic or textually oriented analyses, while also considering the wider societal contexts.Readers are encouraged to analyse the main features of this digital culture and to investigate how language and discourse are encountered through media. This book will be of value to a wide variety of scholars and students in sociolinguistics, communication studies and Asian studies.

The Social Impact of Automating Translation: An Ethics of Care Perspective on Machine Translation (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)
by Esther Monzó-Nebot and Vicenta Tasa-FusterThis collection critically examines the practical impacts of machine translation (MT) through the lens of an ethics of care. It addresses the ideological issues in MT development linked to social hierarchies and explores the transformative potential of care ethics for more equitable technological progress. The volume explores the ideological constructs behind MT as a labor-saving technology, how these constructs are embedded in both its development and social reception, and how they manifest in biased outputs. The chapters cover the cultural roots of translation automation, its legal and political implications, and the needs of various stakeholders. These stakeholders include lay users, Indigenous communities, institutions, educators, and professionals in an increasingly multicultural society. The book also addresses individuals who require translation daily with varying degrees of familiarity with their own translation needs and the tools available. Through critical engagement with the social impacts of MT, the book advocates for an epistemology of care to foster social equity and democratic values in technological progress. This book will interest scholars in translation studies, law, and sociotechnology, as well as practicing translators, policymakers, technologists, and activists seeking ethical and inclusive approaches to machine translation and technological development.
Social Influences on Romantic Relationships
by Christopher R. AgnewHow do we choose a partner to initiate a relationship with, and what makes us stay in a given relationship over time? These questions are most often pursued by scholars with an emphasis on the internal thoughts, feelings, and motivations of individual decision-makers. Conversely, this volume highlights the importance of considering external influences on individual decision-making in close relationships. Featuring contributions from internationally renowned scholars, the volume is divided into two interrelated sections. The first section considers global and societal influences on romantic relationships and the second focuses on social network and communicative influences on romantic relationships. Taken together, this collection helps us to better understand how external factors influence the internal machinations of those involved in intimate relationships.
