I have several questions. 1. Should I use "on the basis of" or "through"? 2. Is there something better than "reference books" for this context?Meaning that I'm looking for here is- books on negotiation, but it seems clumsy. 3. "in real cicumstances" ? 4. "constituent" or "constituent elements" - refers to the constituent elements of the process of negotiation These constituent elements/constituents can be understood and acquired on the basis of/through careful study of reference books and through their practice in real circumstances it is possible to enhance chances for successful outcomes .

Can you please read this sentence and see if it is ok? Especially the expression "fallacy".

The meaning of the pink sentence relates to the rest of the sentence as follows, academics neglected negotiation because they thought it belonged exclusively to business and diplomacy and they refrained from it and feared it because they thought they should leave it to people who were actually using it in practice, ie academics thought negotiation need not be scientifically studied. This is how I understood the sentence.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AcaedemicAudience/bkjqv/post.htm#135530Fri, 09 Sep 2005 11:36:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:135530antoniaSorry, a typo in the title ''academic''.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AcaedemicAudience/bkjqv/post.htmFri, 09 Sep 2005 11:35:59 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:135528antoniaHello!

Is it OK? What should I change?

I often have problems with the use of this verb. I tend to put it in various contexts, and in the end it turns out that it is not appropriate. Can you, please, read this and give me your suggestion?

Can you pelase give me your comments. Thank you. Actually, the whole sentence is clumsy. Should I , instead of saying ''will help us not to..'' try with ''prevent''? Proper earlier/preliminary preparation and the exact knowledge of the minimal goals to be achieved by negotiation, or the awareness of the best alternative to negotiated deal (abbreviated NAPS) or in English BATNA, will help us not to, due to the possible great pressures, end negotiations in a way and with results that will make us regret later on .http://www.englishforums.com/English/CanYouPleaseReadThis/bkzqm/post.htmTue, 06 Sep 2005 08:56:56 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:134380antoniaHi, Can you please read this long sentence and help me make it better? Do words in blue fit the context? In the end, if the opposing party persists in using pressures, unreliable information and feeble arguments, these techniques can be discredited even publicly, but always by preserving the reputation and integrity of the negotiator and by giving a new chance for turning negotiation into/changing the direction of negotiations into collaborative atmosphere.
