This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Was wir uns wie sagen und zeigen by Ulf Lubienetzki, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Deutschland, ein Teil von Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the serviceDeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
