Slander and libel cases are largely about how one party uses
language in ways that are claimed to defame one another. Linguistic
expertise can be central to the case. In The Language of Defamation
Cases, Roger W. Shuy describes eleven representative
lawsuits--involving newspapers, television stations, religious
leaders, physicians, teachers, entertainers, unions, insurance
companies, and manufacturers--for which he served as a consultant.
Shuy's linguistic analysis illustrates how grammatical referencing,
speech acts, discourse structure, framing, conveyed meaning,
intentionality, and malicious language affected the outcome of
these cases.
The Language of Defamation Cases shows how linguistics can be used
to help resolve libel and slander cases. It will appeal to students
and scholars of applied linguistics and forensic linguistics.
