A comprehensive presentation of cross-cultural crisis negotiation principles and strategies, this book relates established communication models to the practical knowledge and experience of crisis negotiators across international organisations and contexts.Early chapters discuss prominent communication theories and discourse analysis models used to analyse interaction in crisis negotiation case studies. A central theme is the practice of "active listening", highlighting the crucial role of active listening in building rapport. Rapport is a communicational concept deemed essential to successful negotiations but is seldom defined. This book expands upon this concept in depth, providing relevant communication theories that can be applied to understanding the interactional processes in successful crisis negotiations. By presenting perspectives on crisis negotiation by scholars and practitioners engaged in vastly differing contexts, it is a robust guide to developing constructive crisis negotiation strategies in cross-cultural and cross-linguistic situations.An essential read for students and practitioners in crisis negotiation who find themselves working in increasingly cross-linguistic and cross-cultural scenarios.

New Directions in the Analysis of Multimodal Discourse offers a comprehensive international view of multimodal discourse and presents new directions for research and application in this growing field. With contributions from top scholars around the world, this work opens up the field of multimodal discourse analysis as it covers a wide range of interests such as computational linguistics, education, ideology, and media discourse.The range and scope of the chapters in this book provide groundbreaking insights into exploring and accounting for the various facets of multimodality in a range of texts and contexts. Initial chapters specifically aim to tackle theoretical issues, while subsequent chapters focus on important research areas such as writing and graphology, genre, ideology, computational concordancing, literacy, and cross cultural and cross linguistic issues. In the final chapters, an emphasis is placed on the educational implications of multimodality in first and second language contexts, a particularly new and interesting contribution.
