Abstract:

As a linguistically-grounded, critical examination of consent, this volume
views consent not as an individual mental state or act but as a process that
is interactionally-and discursively-situated. It highlights the ways in which
legal consent is often fictional (at best) due to the impoverished view of
meaning and the linguistic ideologies that typically inform interpretations
and representations in the legal system. The authors are experts in
linguistics and law, who use diverse theoretical and analytical approaches to
examine the complex ways in which language is used to seek, negotiate, give,
or withhold consent in a range of legal contexts.

Authors draw on case studies, or larger research corpora or a wider sociolegal
approach, in investigations of: police-citizen interactions in the street,
police interviews with suspects, police call handlers, rape and abduction
trials, interactions with lay litigants in a multilingual small claims court,
a restorative justice sentencing scheme for young offenders, biomedical
research, and legal disputes over contracts.
