Practicing Linguistics Without a License: Multimodal Oratory in Legal Performance

Practicing Linguistics Without a License: Multimodal Oratory in Legal Performance 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.
