It makes use of variety of different approaches, including institutional interactions, the analysis of voice, discourse devices, and transcription methods.
The book will appeal primarily to scholars in sociolinguistics and neighbouring disciplines within the social sciences which are interested in language, discourse studies, speaker recognition, transcription and research into aspects of forensic communication in late modernity.
