Excellent points yet again chaps. One thing that frustrates me is the use of ‘normal’ as a context. We know we are all different and so a one-size-fits-all norm just isn’t there. I prefer what is ‘ordinary for that person in that situation’. Seems a play on words, but is softer and when applied across emotions, cultures and situations. The whole thing in my view is underpinned by that self-awareness.

Really refreshed my memories about the BA module! And linked so much with the concept of “masks” in the Linguistics Applied one. Could we say the baseline varies according to the “social mask” we are facing?

Really good point here. I often talk about baseline in my presentations I always stress the baseline is not a constant, but varies according to the situation. We really need a better word to describe it. A bot clunky but ‘contextual baseline’, or ‘situational baseline’?

11:14 WHich is why every interview should be carried out with the aim of keeping any stress (there will always be some) to an absolute minimum. Hard to achieve, but stress just inflames anger, or shuts the conversation down. It’s one of the (many) reasons why I do not like the Reid Technique.
