Practicing Linguistics without a License

Multimodal Oratory in Legal Performance

Gregory Matoesian

and Kristin Enola Gilbert

Volume 9 in the series Foundations in Language and Law [FLL]

Overview

About this book

This book analyzes the complex interplay between gesture, speech and other modal resources (e.g., gaze, facial expression, motion) during the presentation of evidence and interpretation of testimony in court. By analyzing recordings of a well-known rape trial, the authors reveal how multimodal oratory contributes to forensic linguistics and gesture studies, and how it helps understand recent policy recommendations for reforming the rape trial.
