Law Enforcement, Communication and Community (review)
Language and bodily conduct in focus group evaluations of legal policy
Despite the growing importance of focus group interviews for the evaluation of new legal mandates, we know very little about how these interviews function in the socially situated and concrete details of communicative practice. Consequently, how such practices mediate our interpretation and assessment of legal policy remains an unexplicated topic of social scientific inquiry. This study explores the role of verbal and nonverbal speech in a focus …
Law and the Language of Identity: Discourse in the William Kennedy Smith Rape Trial
In this volume, Gregory Matoesian uses the notorious 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith to provide an in-depth analysis of language use and its role in that specific trial as well as in the law in general. He draws on the fields of conversation analysis, ethnomethodology, linguistic anthropology and social theory to show how language practices shape--and are shaped by--culture and the law, particularly in the social construction of rape as …
Évaluer la police de proximité. Style indirect, ambiguïté et paroles rapportées dans un contexte juridique bureaucratique
Aux États-Unis, la police de proximité constitue l'un des changements majeurs de ces dernières décennies dans le domaine du droit. La recherche n'a pourtant pas réussi à prendre la mesure des pratiques discursives contextuellement situées par lesquelles les initiatives en matière de police de proximité sont mises en œuvre et ses résultats produits à l'intérieur de la bureaucratie juridique. Nous examinons ici comment la culture du partenariat ent…
The grammaticalization of participant roles in the constitution of expert identity
Despite the relevance of language use in expert testimony, researchers have rarely scrutinized the linguistic and interactional processes of constructing an expert identity. This study, rather than reifying the concept of expert and leaving it as an unproblematic legal argument, examines how this institutional identity emerges in and through discursive interaction between the prosecuting attorney and a physician (who is also the defendant) in tri…
You Were Interested in Him as a Person?”: Rhythms of Domination in the Kennedy Smith Rape Trial
In this study I explore the theoretical and linguistic implications of the Kennedy Smith rape trial, using transcriptions of real live testimony as data. I examine theoretically how the logic of inconsistency in trial testimony of the victim and other witnesses activates an interaction among language, law, and culture as an epistemological practice of domination. In microlinguistic detail, I examine the categorization of action, linguistic ideolo…

Language, Law, and Society: Policy Implications of the Kennedy Smith Rape Trial
In this article I examine the applied relevance of trial talk for rape shield legislation and attempts to evaluate the impact of such legal reforms. Using linguistic data from the Kennedy Smith rape trial, I argue that attempts to progressively implement rape shield have thus far failed and that research evaluating its impact has been more or less misguided because reformers and researchers have consistently failed to scrutinize empirically the i…
