Tim Gunn is a Dictionary
Gunn is famous for having a large and colorful vocabulary. Do you think it makes him a clear communicator? Why or why not? Provides examples of equivocal words, slang, and jargon that Gunn uses in the video and explain why the words are confusing. Last, identify examples of Gunn using either convergence or divergence when speaking with others. Please create your own thread and write a response to each question and provide an explanation for your answers. This is video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7zGF6orAI Also I want you to response these two. 1.I think having a large and colorful vocabulary doesn’t make Mr. Gunn a good communicator because when he talks his team has a difficulty in understanding him. For example when Mr. Gunn was talking to the first designer, the designer said ” Half the time when he say something I’m like I’m gonna have to figure it out” which tells us that the designer was confused by what Mr. Gunn is talking about. Mr. Gunn’s language involves Jargon because he uses the type of jargon that is for those who are well educated and they are not for the designers. Which is the reason why the team has a hard time understanding him. 2 .I believe Tim Gunn is a good communicator because he has a strong vocabulary but at the same time, he needs to learn that most people wont understand the big words he uses. I think most of it is due to the cameras being around and the fame he gets from it. His vocabulary has to do a lot with his work in the fashion industry in my opinion, so he has learned words that have to do with fashion around the world. I think he involves a lot of fashion slang and different words he learned in different countries. Most of the people he talks to day to day probably understand him so that why I also think he uses such a diverse vocabulary.
