Description
Spoken Threats from Production to Perception is a comprehensive exploration of threatening language through the lens of forensic linguistics. The book traces the complete lifecycle of spoken threats, from their initial production by speakers through the various stages of transmission to their ultimate perception by listeners and legal professionals.
James Tompkinson provides detailed linguistic analysis of how threats are constructed, examining the phonetic, phonological, and discourse features that characterize threatening speech. The work bridges the gap between theoretical linguistics and practical forensic application, offering insights relevant to law enforcement, legal practitioners, and linguists.
As part of the Elements in Forensic Linguistics series from Cambridge University Press, this volume contributes essential knowledge to understanding how language functions in threatening contexts and how linguistic expertise can inform investigative and legal proceedings.
