| Abstract
|
:
|
"In The Language of Defamation Cases, Roger W. Shuy describes eleven representative lawsuits - involving newspapers, television stations, religious leaders, physicians, teachers, entertainers, unions, insurance companies, and manufacturers - for which he served as a consultant. Shuy's linguistic analysis illustrates how grammatical referencing, speech acts, discourse structure, framing, conveyed meaning, intentionality, and malicious language affected the outcomes of these cases." "The Language of Defamation Cases will appeal to students and scholars of applied linguistics, forensic linguistics, and language and law."--BOOK JACKET.
