Kendall Hunt's Digital Titles from CSCA 2024


This edition has been significantly expanded to follow the template of the Five Canon approach. Presentation speaking has been chosen as the title because presentations are used more frequently than public speaking. Presentation speaking includes situations where speakers use both verbal and nonverbal communication to send messages to audiences creating relationships with people who are usually present. Public speaking is a specialized form of speaking used in organizations, communities, and government settings.		This publication emphasizes both the forms and functions of grammatical elements. The ability to analyze one’s own writing depends, in large measure, upon the ability to identify how a word or word group is functioning. Two similar forms may not be functioning similarly, and the clash of their functions can result in a kind of dissonance; or a word that appears to be one part of speech may just as easily be another, and the author’s ambiguity can leave readers scratching their heads.		This publication is organized into two main sections. Section One discusses components of an interpersonal communication model (communicators, content, and contexts). Chapters on each of these topics focus on insightful theory and critical skills of communication. Section Two presents stages in the life span and critical communication challenges for each stage.
