[Linganth] Families in courtrooms and legal discourse in family narratives

[Matt Tomlinson]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing on behalf of a student who wants to look at how families in courtrooms (1) encounter difficult-to-understand registers of talk (legalese) and make sense of it, and (2) take what they've heard and seen in court back into family narratives. Or, more complexly, how they articulate family texts and narratives with the alternative texts and narratives they have encountered in courtroom proceedings.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions you might have on this topic, in any geographical area.

With thanks in advance for any suggestions, and best regards,

Matt
