Book Description
What does a new branch of linguistics, Implicit Pragmalinguistics, mean? And what methods of analysis does it use? What are the peculiarities of prosecutors’ forensic speech as a speech genre? What kinds of individual speech behavior and stereotyped speech behavior do English-speaking and Russian-speaking prosecutors have from the point of view of Implicit Pragmalinguistics? Within these pages, you will find not only the answers to these questions but also a lot of useful information concerning human beings. This book consists of three parts devoted to the description of the methods and requirements for linguistic analysis in Implicit Pragmalinguistics, and to the peculiarities of English-speaking and Russian-speaking prosecutors’ individual and stereotyped speech behavior on the grounds of the pragmalinguistic experimental results. 65,280 items of analysis or small syntactical groups were studied to diagnose individual-personal qualities of the Russian-speaking and English-speaking prosecutors, their stereotyped speech behaviour according to their periods of working, their speech addressees and national-cultural belonging of the speech senders. The book will appeal to philologists, courtroom professionals, psychologists, sociologists, teachers and students.
