这本书属于迅速发展的历史语用学领域。更具体地说,它旨在为历史社会语用学领域提供定义。它试图通过记录1640-1760年期间英国法庭最活跃的参与者群体(例如法官,律师,证人和被告)的话语角色的变化来增强我们对历史法庭语言的理解。虽然主要的重点是问题和答案,这本书也分析了使用诱导和非诱导设备(如请求和命令)作为一种手段,展示随着时间的推移的相似性和差异。这项工作的特别优势包括研究不同类型的审判,使结果可能更具有代表性的法庭一般,和创新的话语分析方法,它融合了语料库方法和社会语用分析,从而使定量分析的功能现象。
This book belongs to the rapidly growing field of historical pragmatics. More specifically, it aims to lend definition to the area of historical sociopragmatics. It seeks to enhance our understanding of the language of the historical courtroom by documenting changes to the discursive roles of the most active participant groups of the English courtroom (e.g. the judges, lawyers, witnesses and defendants) in the period 1640–1760. Although the primary focus is on questions and answers, this book also analyses the use of eliciting and non-eliciting devices (e.g. requests and commands) as a means of demonstrating similarities and differences over time. Particular strengths of this work include the study of different types of trial, making the results potentially more representative of the courtroom in general, and the innovative discourse analytic approach, which blends corpus methodology and sociopragmatic analysis, thereby enabling the quantitative analysis of functional phenomena.
