About this book

A vital and comprehensive starting place for understanding the key concepts, this book explores 177 diverse types and styles of listening named in academic scholarship to date.

This book is an encyclopaedic-style synthesis of existing literature related to listening styles and types. Through online academic resource curation and literature review synthesis, this key reference work offers a deep dive into the interdisciplinary foundations of listening. By providing a brief descriptive overview of each of the identified listening styles and types as well as the inclusion of key scholars related to them, this book challenges assumptions about "listening" as a singular communicative activity and offers students and scholars alike a place from which to draw key listening concepts. No other text has attempted to bring together previous listening scholarship in this expansive interdisciplinary way. This book promotes both the field of listening itself while also expanding opportunities for students of many disciplines to embed listening scholarship in their knowledge and practical application.

The first of its kind, Listening: The Key Concepts is an expansive, state-of the-field exploration of listening scholarship that can be used as a guidebook for undergraduate and graduate students in Listening, Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication, and Intercultural Communication courses as well as other related disciplines.
