CfP 17 June 22 Special Issue - Law-in-(inter)action: communicative practices in legal settings:
Details:
The connection between law and language has been investigated by a myriad of researchers from different disciplines, using a wide range of methods (see Conley et al. 2019; Coulthard et al. 2021). Language plays a decisive role in constituting the legal universe, as it is through talk- in-interaction that legal professionals (i.e. lawyers, judges, conciliators, mediators, police officers, etc.) perform some of the activities which are most germane to the deliver of justice around the world. However, despite the pervasive nature of language in legal work, research on talk-in-interaction in police and judicial settings is still marginal in the social sciences.
This call for papers stems from our desire to promote empirical research in language and law that focuses on examining interactional and discursive practices which are constitutive of law-in- (inter)action. We welcome submissions from those working with audio/video recordings or official transcripts of legal or quasi-legal speech events (e.g. courtroom interactions, police interrogations/interviews, mediation encounters, etc), and employing methodologies from the social sciences and linguistics (e.g. conversation analysis, ethnmethodology, interactional sociolinguistics, lingustic anthropology). In this way, we hope to bring together those studying interactional and discursive practices in legal contexts, who also situate their research findings in broader debates on language and law and/or socio-legal studies.
