Words, Meaning, and Messages: Theory and Experiments in Psycholinguistics focuses on the advancements of approaches, methodologies, and theories in psycholinguistics. The publication first elaborates on the studies of languages within a general science of signs and the search of psychological design features of natural languages. Discussions focus on characteristic features of sign processes, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of an artificial language, linguistic medium, and characteristic features of psychological inquiries. The text then takes a look at the word as a stimulus and response variable and word meanings, including interdependence among meaning components, associative word meaning, emotive meaning, and preliminary evidence for efferent mechanisms in word perception. The book examines word meanings and nonlinguistic factors in message transmission; different psychological approaches to syntactic processes; and psychological inquiries into the semantic and pragmatic aspects of utterances. Topics include linguistic form and efficiency of message transmission; acquisition of grammar and the learning of word meanings; and word combinations, conditioning, and temporary modification of word meanings. The manuscript is a valuable reference for researchers interested in the theories and experiments in psycholinguistics.

Public Speaking is one of the most important task and challenging to the human beings. It is imperative for all the committed Christians to lean, learn and live with the Biblical truths. As such, the knowledge and application of Scripture is an utmost necessity to be grounded upon the word of God. The necessity of Scripture means that the Bible is necessary for knowing the gospel, for maintaining spiritual and moral life, and for knowing God’s will, but is not necessary for knowing that God exists or for knowing something about God’s character and moral law. Basis of Preaching Biblical Message: Preach the Word is for the glory of God, the building up of the church and society, and the spreading of the Gospel to the ends of the earth; that is, to all the creation. Biblical preaching is centered around and takes its content from the inerrant Word of God. True Biblical preaching aims at life change. Biblical preaching also comes through the personality of the preacher. Some communicators or preachers are encouragers, some are confrontational. Some are humour, while others use sound logic and well-reasoned content. It is not good to fall into the trap of trying to mimic your favourite preacher. Instead, learn from them, and develop your own style as a good communicator. Rev Dr Koningthung Ngoru Moyon presents Biblical Preaching in his book ‘Basis of Preaching Biblical Message: Preach the Word’ is both an art and a science. It is a science in the sense that there are rules and principles of communication that we are to follow. It is an art in that each person brings his own unique personality and style to the preaching experience. ‘Preaching is truth through personality’. Both are necessary. However, the very important and foremost focus in the book is that Biblical Preaching is empowered by the work of the Holy Spirit is focus in the book.

Interpreters who work with signed languages and those who work strictly with spoken languages share many of the same issues regarding their training, skill sets, and fundamentals of practice. Yet interpreting into and from signed languages presents unique challenges for the interpreter, who works with language that must be seen rather than heard. The contributions in this volume focus on topics of interest to both students of signed language interpreting and practitioners working in community, conference, and education settings. Signed languages dealt with include American Sign Language, Langue des Signes Québécoise and Irish Sign Language, although interpreters internationally will find the discussion in each chapter relevant to their own language context. Topics concern theoretical and practical components of the interpreter’s work, including interpreters’ approaches to language and meaning, their role on the job and in the communities within which they work, dealing with language variation and consumer preferences, and Deaf interpreters as professionals in the field.

�Today’s global citizens operate business and management endeavors on a global scale. Globalization generates an increasing demand for effective communication in diverse cultural contexts and challenges the relevance of culture in operating businesses in the global village. Communication differences are apparent in many scenarios. Expatriates of international organizations operating abroad adopt their native cultural values to motivate employees of foreign cultures with an entirely different perspective. They use one culture’s motives to move people from other cultures. In global marketing communication, the communicators use values systems of their native culture to develop advertising for other cultures. They use categorizations of one culture to describe others. Such divergence in attitudes, perspectives and priorities of suppliers, and customers with different cultural backgrounds have led to many project failures in international organizations. An in-depth understanding of cultural backgrounds and the potential impact on communication of the people one is interacting with can increase the probability of business success among investors, managers, entrepreneurs and employees operating in diverse cultures. However, effective cross cultural business communication needs to recognize and adopt an interdisciplinary perspective in understanding the cultural forces (Leung, K. et al., 2005). Therefore, we need a multidisciplinary paradigm to carry on effective and successful business communication in our contemporary global village. 本_构建有效的跨文化商__通理_模型,__企_商__略、宏_社_文化、__文化在构建企__通_略中的作用与影_,研究_言与文化在信息__与解__程中的作用,以及_通中的有效_言策略和模糊_言策略。同_,本__合理_模型,提出了有效的跨文化___通_略、_告_通_略和_判_通_略,并提供了提高_通效率与效果的技能和方法。
