Emote: Using Emotions to Make Your Message Memorable
by Vikas Gopal JhingranA self-proclaimed introvert turned Toastmaster Champion reveals how to infuse your message with emotions to improve your public speaking skills.Many people fear public speaking more than death. Most wish they could do it better, or at least avoid the sweating, stuttering jitters that plague them before any presentation. Vikas Jhingran has been there. He was so poor at speaking in public that his supervisor wouldn’t let him make presentations to clients—even when he had done all the work. When he tried to improve his skills by studying professional speakers, he was surprised to discover that few presenters understood speech making at a fundamental level. Their overly prescriptive approach often confused the speech and the tools that are used to deliver it. What listeners are most engaged by are the emotions that go with your message. By focusing on this important aspect of communication—the transfer of emotion—this guide to successful communication:Develops an emotion-driven approach that will help you deliver a powerful, effective message. Encourages introverts and non-native speakers to find their voices and deliver impactful speeches. Clarifies the roles of common speaking tools and shows how to use them effectively.In Emote, Vikas presents an emotion-based approach that will change the way you think about verbal communications, helping you gain the confidence you need to stand in the spotlight, create connections, and get your message across to anyone.“Emote approaches verbal communications from a very human perspective. It will help you improve verbally, whether public speaking or in one-on-one conversations.” —Nancy Duarte, author of Resonate
Emotion Coaching with Children and Young People in Schools: Promoting Positive Behavior, Wellbeing and Resilience
by Janet Rose Louise Gilbert Licette GusEmotion Coaching (EC) is a universal communication strategy which supports children and young people to self-regulate and manage their stress responses. Originally noticed as an effective way parents communicated with their children around challenging behaviours, Emotion Coaching has been shown to be highly successful in educational settings too. This is why the authors pioneered the research and application of Emotion Coaching into UK (primary and secondary) schools and community settings. The book includes straightforward descriptions and practical tips, with signposting to resources, case studies and vignettes to illustrate its practical application in educational settings. It supports adults to promote empathetic responses to challenging behaviours and situations, helping children and young people to understand their emotions and learn to manage them and their behavior in the longer-term.

The book covers the topics of emotions, emotion regulation, strategies, and instruction. Each topic is discussed in the subsequent chapters, beginning with a concise summary of theories and research in the fields of psychology, education, and language learning. This is followed by its practical applications in the classroom, with suggestions and ideas based on research as well as reports from teachers in a wide range of contexts. Teachers’ vignettes give readers an opportunity to compare their experiences with others. A practical guide with detailed steps for implementing strategy instruction in emotion regulation is provided at the end.
Emotion and Cause: Linguistic Theory and Computational Implementation (Studies in East Asian Linguistics)
by Sophia Yat LeeThis work argues that cause events, being the most tangible component of emotion, provide a rich dimension of how emotions should be classified. While it is often claimed that emotional concepts cannot be defined, this work views emotion as a response triggered by actual or perceived events, specifically focusing on the interaction between five primary emotions (Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Surprise) and cause events. Cause events are examined in terms of two dimensions, namely transitivity and epistemicity. By incorporating the semantic and syntactic information of emotion cause events, this representation of emotion not only provides deep linguistic criteria of emotion cause events, but also offers an event-based approach to emotion classification. A text-driven, rule-based system for detecting the causes of emotion is then developed to establish the validity of the proposed linguistic model for emotion detection and classification. The system shows promising results.
Emotion and Delinquency: A Clinical Study of Five Hundred Criminals in the Making (Routledge Library Editions: Education)

Emotion and Discourse in L2 Narrative Research
by Matthew T. PriorThis interdisciplinary book explores the interactional construction and management of emotionality in second language autobiographical interview research. By advancing a discursive constructionist approach, it offers a timely methodological and interaction-based perspective that examines how emotionality is collaboratively managed as both topic and resource within the institutional and interpersonal business of qualitative research. The book weaves together discussions based on first and second language literature as well as original research with adult immigrants from Southeast Asia living in the US and Canada. This book will be of interest to those researching second and foreign language studies, applied linguistics and related bilingual and multilingual research, as well as those interested in qualitative research methods and emotion.

by Leonard B. Meyer"Altogether it is a book that should be required reading for any student of music, be he composer, performer, or theorist.

McAllester, American Anthropologist "A book which should be read by all who want deeper insights into music listening, performing, and composing."—Marcus G. Raskin, Chicago Review
Emotion in Group Decision and Negotiation
by Bilyana MartinovskyThe volume offers an exploration of methods for analysis of emotion in negotiation, such as cognitive modeling, discourse analysis, all testing, subsequent multidimensional scaling, impression rating, and graph modeling for conflict resolution, reasonable and unreasonable disagreement. It covers activities, such as business negotiation, conflict solving, bargaining, task management meetings, discussions, and elaborates on different kinds of emotions. Some emotions stimulate negotiation (e. g. empathy), others -hinder it (e. g. disgust). However, all emotions open a door to uncertainty in relations and negotiation, which in turn provides an opportunity. The volume views language in negotiation not only as a vehicle for transmission of thought but also as a manifestation of emotion and the ethical.
