Idiolectical conversation
Idiolectic conversation is a form of conversation that focuses on one's own language, the so-called idiolect of the conversation partner. The idiolect is understood to mean the individual language pattern of a speaker with all his phonetic , grammatical and word choices. The listener focuses fully on the speaker.
history
The idiolectical concept goes back to the doctor and psychotherapist Adolphe David Jonas (1913–1985), who initially worked in New York and later taught in London, Würzburg and Vienna. The concept experienced a theoretical and practical further development and foundation in the German-speaking area. The Society for Idiolectics and Conversation was founded in Würzburg in 1985 .
The listener's attitude, impact
To put it simply, there is a speaker and a listener in an idiolectical conversation. The listener focuses fully on the speaker. In a cautious and appreciative attitude, he supports the speaker with neutral and open-ended questions in order to gain access to his resources . The speaker always retains full freedom of choice about what, in what form and how much he communicates to the listener. Through the gentle questions
- the speaker gains access to his resources,
- recognizes own attitudes and thought patterns and
- possibly even change options.
Questioning technique
The questioning technique consists of simple, short and open questions in which the speaker's own language is taken up. To do this, the person asking empathetically follows the narrative flow of the speaker and tries to perceive key words . Maintaining the resonance and putting back your own impulses or suggestions is central. Possible questions are:
- "How can I imagine ...? Can you give me an example? "
- "How does this work? How do you do that?"
- "What would you have to do with me so that I could feel that ...?"
- "What is there right now?"
In addition, the questioner pays attention to the flow of speech, the imagery of the language and non-verbal signals.
Areas of application
Idiolectical conversations can be used in knowledge- and research-oriented settings . Also in tense everyday situations, as idiolectical conversations have a strong de-escalating effect.
