Forensic Communication in Theory and Practice. A Study of Discourse Analysis and Transcription

This edited collection brings together, for the first time, contributions from different context-language situations on forensic communication combining theoretical and methodological studies with professional and technical capabilities. In this sense, academic and applied researches in forensic communication are the scientific starting point of this book, which develops in particular forensic discourse analysis and transcription of oral data. Multidisciplinarity is one of the most remarkable characteristic of the collection and different approaches are used and developed; these include: a) institutional interactions; b) analysis of voice; e) discourse devices; d) transcription methods. The book is principally intended for scholars in sociolinguistics and neighbouring disciplines within the social sciences which are interested in language, discourse studies, speaker recognition, transcription and research into aspects of forensic communication in late modernity.
