  • On slayed

    Edwin Battistella, Marc PierceARTICLEAmerican Speech2026

    A few years ago, a university administrator made an offhand suggestion that “the faculty should self-manage themselves.” The usage, with its double self, stuck with me.

  • The Language of Confession, Interrogation, and Deception

    Edwin Battistella, Roger W ShuyARTICLELanguage2000

    Taking a linguistic perspective, this book is a practical explanation of how confessions work. Roger Shuy, author of the 1993 benchmark work, Language Crimes, examines criminal confessions, the interrogations that elicit confessions, and the deceptive language that plays a role in the actual confession. He presents transcripts from numerous interrogations and analyzes how language is used, how constitutional rights are protected (or not), and dis…
