The framework now changes too: the chapters are less in the form of smooth narrative but split up with scenarios to set the scene, chunks of theory, notes to amplify and work-outs to close.
Semantic analysis is introduced ~ how to understand the characteristics that words have attached to them, and how they may differ from person to person. Then we are into Domains ~ areas of life where different linguistic or power rules may apply. Suzette distinguishes: Game, Business/Professional; Time and Space; Public Relations; and Personal. The Game domain is perhaps more typically American than English, I rather think that we have a more pervasive military metaphor here instead of the American Sporting model.
The book then looks at the particular use of The Gentle Art in each of these domains. I have no easy way of summarising the content ~ suffice it to say that we all spend so much of our lives in these domains that if you only ever look at one of Suzette’s books then it should probably be this one.
