商品簡介
With some help from colleagues on Gujarati, Korean, and Japanese, McMenamin (linguistics, California State U.-Fresno) introduces language, linguistics, and linguistic variation to attorneys and other nonlinguists who need to understand what linguist-witnesses do; introduces the discipline of forensic linguistics; and situates forensic stylistics as a field of language study and forensic analysis within the discipline of forensic linguistics. Forensic linguists deal with such questions as what exactly constitutes a request for drugs, a confession, a waiving of rights, or a proprietary name. Annotation c.
