Language of Defendants in the 17th-Century English Courtroom: A Socio-Pragmatic Analysis of the Prisoners Interactional Role and Representation

Elisabetta Cecconi

4.9/5 (26045 ratings)

Description:This volume analyses the defence system in the 17th-century English courtroom and sees how defendants attempted to construct their discourse identity and articulate their defence in the arraignment section and in the evidence phase of the trial. Drawing upon theories from socio-pragmatics and (critical) discourse analysis the book investigates the complex face-work dynamics operating between defendants and professionals/witnesses, the main defence strategies adopted in the evidence phase and - at the author-readership discourse level - the way in which Royalist defendants were represented in Royalist accounts in the turbulent years of the Civil War. The author draws on a rich variety of trial texts: from high treason to religious subversion, from murder to felony and misdemeanour. In each case the defendants discourse behaviour is scrutinised in relation to historical, socio-cultural and institutional variables. In its double focus on the defendants interactional role in the trial and their representation in Royalist accounts, the book offers a valuable reading for historical courtroom linguists, legal historians and researchers in the field of language, ideology and political propaganda in the early modern period.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
