Hi all,
I recently published a paper on the Zimmerman trial and language:
Slobe, Tyanna (2016). Creepy-Ass Cracker in post-racial America: Don West’s
examination of Rachel Jeantel in the George Zimmerman murder trial. Text &
Talk 36(5): 613-635.
John Rickford has also been writing and presenting on the trial, and it was
the topic of his 2016 LSA Presidential Address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMMxufNN4pg.
More of his work on the trial can be found here:

I hope this helps,
Ty
