Introduction

[Lorna Fadden]

Dear Claudia,

You topic sounds fascinating. There are a number of people in the forensic
linguistics domain who work in the area of courtroom discourse. If you
aren't already on the Int'l Association of Forensic Linguists' mailing list,
you may want to log on and sift through the archives. You may find some
helpful contacts there. Good luck with your work!

> Dear all,

> I am a Chilean Linguistics PhD student working on my thesis at the
> Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. In my work I intend to describe
> the prosecutors' and defendants' oral discourse, as they carry out their
> "closing arguments" within the recently established oral trials in our
> country. Methodologically, I approach these closing arguments from three
> different perspectives: a structural, a rethorical and a lexico-grammatical
> one. My general objective is to thoroughly describe this gender and to find
> out if there are any differences between the prosecutors' and defendants'
> closing arguments. In case differences are found, the nature of these
> differences will be established.
