Abstract:

This collection breaks new ground in police communication research. It
involves the first instance of the same dataset being analysed from different
theoretical and methodological perspectives as well as providing original and
detailed insights into both monolingual and bilingual UK police interviews and
US police interrogations of suspects. The topics include the role of
metacommunication and its appropriate vs. inappropriate use in evidence
elicitation, assessment of mitigation vs. aggravation strategies in
questioning, identification of right vs. wrong empathy and the importance of
getting it right, effects on complexity in police speak on quantity and
quality of information obtained, and the multiple challenges that affect
interpreter-mediated exchanges in this highly sensitive communicative context.
All levels of linguistic meaning are covered, words, constructions, sentences,
discourse, and contextualised within psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic
knowledge about inferencing, emotion, and social interaction. This holistic
approach helps us explain where, when and why communicative conflicts arise in
this sensitive context and propose concrete practical solutions to resolve
them. This volume will be useful and relevant to both academics, students and
researchers, and to professionals in the domains of language and the law.
