JURY TRIALS AND THE POPULARIZATION OF LEGAL LAN...

This book explores the techniques and discursive strategies that are typical of the
communicative interactions between professionals and laymen in a jury trial. It also
investigates the complex relationship that emerges between written and oral communication in
different phases of the trial. The analysis takes into account the many nuances that define
these dynamics and the various possibilities that the jurors have to intervene in the process 
particularly in the light of recent procedural developments. Special attention is devoted to
the observation of the specific strategies adopted to illustrate legal ideas and concepts to
the jurors according to the speakers' various communicative purposes. By adopting a discourse
analytical perspective which combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches  the book
highlights the hybridity of the language used in court and the combination of different styles
and registers.
