Discursive Constructions of Consent in the Legal Process: Oxford Studies in Language and Law

Editat de Susan Ehrlich, Diana Eades, Janet Ainsworth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2016
As a linguistically-grounded, critical examination of consent, this volume views consent not as an individual mental state or act but as a process that is interactionally-and discursively-situated. It highlights the ways in which legal consent is often fictional (at best) due to the impoverished view of meaning and the linguistic ideologies that typically inform interpretations and representations in the legal system. The authors are experts in linguistics and law, who use diverse theoretical and analytical approaches to examine the complex ways in which language is used to seek, negotiate, give, or withhold consent in a range of legal contexts. Authors draw on case studies, or larger research corpora or a wider sociolegal approach, in investigations of: police-citizen interactions in the street, police interviews with suspects, police call handlers, rape and abduction trials, interactions with lay litigants in a multilingual small claims court, a restorative justice sentencing scheme for young offenders, biomedical research, and legal disputes over contracts.

Recenzii

Overall, Discursive Constructions does a good job reminding readers of how legally-shaped consent practices are broadly and regularly deployed in daily life.
This exhaustive and timely overview of consents position within our criminal and civil legal systems in the UK, US, Australia and the Netherlands should serve as something of a call to arms for those of us working in all areas of forensic linguistics and language and law. It is wholly consistent with an understanding of our role as one which seeks to protect human rights and be driven by questions of social justice (Eades, 2010: 422), and sheds further light on how we as linguists can contribute to such an effort.
