Spiders, death, dentists, snakes and flying are in the list of the top ten fears of businesspeople (Book of List). But the top position is held by "public speaking". So great is this fear that most businesspeople have a single objective: to get off the platform as soon as possible. This book, based on a hugely successful course given to thousands of businesspeople, shows how anyone can speak with confidence to an audience of any size. Laced with humour and wit, the author emphasizes that you don't have to be a brilliant orator to be an effective speaker in business. Simply being good is plenty, because 95% of all business presenters are so awful! 10 reasons you must buy this book and avoid "death by slide-show"! 1. Most business audiences have a single objective: to get out of the room. 2. Most business presenters have a single objective: to sit down in the audience again. 3. Most corporate audiences can't remember, 24 hours later, what was presented, the title of the presentation or the presenter's name. 4. Like it or not, 55% of the persuasive power of a presentation is transmitted by the speaker's body language, 38% by the speaker's voice tone and only 7% by the content. 5. 75% of speaker-nerves disappear with correct rehearsal. 6. You can discover how to generate applause when you want it. 7. There is a simple model you can use which will create a terrific presentation for you every time. 8. Bullet points are not what slides are for, and using all capital letters makes long stretches of text very hard to read. 9. Reading words off slides (as most presenters do) puts your audience to sleep in about 30 seconds. 10. Good presenters are very rare. When you become a good presenter you can often negotiate better employment terms, a higher salary, and even get yourself promoted - I did... so can you!.

Une étude sur la réfutation dans les domaines du théâtre et de la littérature en premier lieu, puis dans celui de la linguistique et de la rhétorique. Cet art est fondé sur la résistance aux paroles des autres interlocuteurs dans le dialogue théâtral où s'enchaînent les dimensions logique, dialogique, sémantique, rhétorique et pragmatique. ©Electre 2018 Cette recherche articule plusieurs champs disciplinaires : les études littéraires et théâtrales, d'une part, la linguistique et la rhétorique, d'autre part. Ces approches sont combinées et appliquées à un ensemble de pièces françaises du xxe siècle (Cocteau, Giraudoux, Sartre). L'étude du corpus est précédée par une étude historique de la notion linguistique et philosophique de réfutation. L'auteur tente de souligner que la réfutation est un art à part fondé sur la résistance aux paroles des autres interlocuteurs dans le dialogue théâtral où s'enchaînent les dimensions logique, dialogique, sémantique rhétorique et pragmatique.

« Le présent ouvrage est une monographie scientifique relevant du domaine de la linguistique comparative dont l'objectif est d'analyser les aspects linguistico-sémiotiques qui influencent les convictions et les attitudes envers les personnes discriminées et socialement exclues à cause de leur race, orientation sexuelle ou séropositivité (...). L'auteur a minutieusement examiné la spécificité des messages persuasifs en analysant le discours des campagnes de sensibilisation françaises et polonaises. La monographie constitue une contribution importante au développement des recherches linguistiques en communication persuasive. Je considère que l'apport notable de cet ouvrage réside dans la manière complexe d'aborder le sujet et dans l'ancrage de la recherche sur le langage de la haine et sur le rejet de l'autre dans le contexte sociopolitique et culturel international, avec un accent particulier sur la France et la Pologne. Un autre mérite de ce travail est de présenter les stratégies persuasives, employées dans les campagnes sociétales, sous un nouveau jour à travers une approche comparative (...). Je ne connais aucune autre publication scientifique dans le marché du livre polonais qui traiterait le même sujet dans une perspective de recherche similaire et en s'appuyant sur un tel corpus.
