Ce que nos mots révèlent et que nos actes ne peuvent pas | Aadi Jhawar | TEDxKings College School

Lorsque les organisations doivent annoncer quelque chose de difficile, le choix des mots peut faire paraître une décision inévitable. Aadi Jhawar examine ce que ce vocabulaire laisse de côté, à partir d'exemples issus du monde des affaires, de la médecine et du sport. Il distingue les formulations destinées à protéger l'auditeur de celles destinées à protéger l'orateur. La conférence a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante au TEDxKings College School.

• Le vocabulaire des annonces difficiles
• Comment une formulation inévitable peut masquer des décisions
• Exemples tirés des affaires, de la médecine et du sport

Aadi considers the language organisations reach for when they have something difficult to say, and what is lost when a decision is described in terms that make it sound inevitable. Drawing on examples from business, medicine, and sport, he looks at the difference between wording chosen to protect the listener and wording chosen to protect the speaker. Aadi is a Year 11 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, with a particular passion for science and linguistics. He is fascinated by how scientific discovery helps us understand the world, and by how words across different languages shape the way we communicate with, interact with, and respect others. Beyond the classroom, he plays cricket and racquet sports, and nurtures his love of music through the piano and violin. He also follows Formula 1 and enjoys designing and racing model cars. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
