Abstract:

Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book explores the
analysis of crime-related language. Drawing on ideas from stylistics,
pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, metaphor theory, critical discourse
analysis, multimodality, corpus linguistics, and intertextuality, it compares
and contrasts the linguistic representation of crime across a range of genres,
both fictitious (crime novels, and crime in TV, film and music), and in real
life (crime reporting, prison discourse, and statements used in courts). It
touches on current political topics like #BlackLivesMatter, human (child)
trafficking, and the genocide of the Kurds among others, making it essential
reading for linguists, criminologists and those with a general interest in
crime-related topics alike. Covering a variety of text genres and
methodological approaches, and united by the aim of deciphering how crime is
portrayed ideologically, this book is the next step in developing research at
the intersection of linguistics, criminology, literature and media studies.
