This study examines how Tacitus' representation of speech determines the roles of speakers within the political sphere, and explores the possibility of politically effective speech in the principate. It argues against the traditional scholarly view that Tacitus refuses to offer a positive view of senatorial power in the principate: while senators did experience limitations and changes to what they could achieve in public life, they could aim to create a dimension of political power and efficacy through speeches intended to create and sustain relations which would in turn determine the roles played by both senators or an emperor. Ellen O'Gorman traces Tacitus' own charting of these modes of speech, from flattery and aggression to advice, praise, and censure, and explores how different modes of speech in his histories should be evaluated: not according to how they conform to pre-existing political stances, but as they engender different political worlds in the present and future. The volume goes beyond literary analysis of the texts to create a new framework for studying this essential period in ancient Roman history, much in the same way that Tacitus himself recasts the political authority and presence of senatorial speakers as narrative and historical analysis.

This book is the first to summarize the voluminous literature on the development of cognitive, codification, language, and expressive/affective (CCCE) skills from a clinical standpoint. Emphasizing the need to ground services in research and theory, the author constructs three basic clinical models--a conceptual model for understanding, a descriptive model for formal assessment, and a facilitative model for intervention. These models have major implications for the work of all those who deal with CCCE problems in a professional capacity.

This clear guide shows how to speak confidently and effectively in worship. Writing in plain English, Charles L. Bartow focuses on the practical steps worship leaders can take to communicate successfully. He shows how to speak phrases, how to understand the meaning of gesture, how to help the congregation respond more vigorously and effectively. Bartow begins by examining the nature, shape, and conduct of the worship service, and by discussing its major elements: praise, prayer, Word, and sacrament. With that background established, Bartow moves step-by-step through the worship service, offering hands on experience to worship leaders. 'Effective Speech Communication in Leading Worship' includes many helpful exercises and examples to illustrate Bartow's effective-speaking techniques.
