- W276483350 abstract "Courtroom dramas have become a feature of American televison viewing. Unlike the days of Ironside and Perry Mason, when a limited number of programs existed, courtroom programs have expanded in numbers and can be seen across the country and at many hours of the day. (1) In addition, courtroom programs (e.g., Judge Joe Brown, Judge Hatchet, Judge Judy, Texas Justice) have given viewers insights into the legal system and have provided us with a bit of humor and seriousness when litigants confront each other or when judges rule on cases. For those who might want to investigate these programs elements of popular culture, there are many directions from which investigators can proceed. For sociologists and anthropologists, issues concerning group behavior, for example, can be analyzed. For the psychologists, discussions about personality types, behaviors, and motives might arouse such research interests. For the linguists and for students interested in the study of language, courtroom programs can provide a rich source of data for linguistic analysis. Certainly, language is a central issue in the conduct of legal proceedings. Following conceptual tools advance in the study of language research, especially sociolinguistics, we may consider court trials speech situations. According to Finegan (1994), a speech situation can be defined as the coming together of various significant situational factors such purpose, topic and social relations (p. 333). In viewing courtroom dramas, viewers and those in the courtroom can soon determine the purpose for which adjudicators come to court, the issue being discussed and the relationship between litigants and the judge. Of course, language is a key component of any speech situation, and its inclusion here should not be surprising to the reader. Furthermore, the aforementioned variables (e.g., purpose, topic, social relations) influence the type of language used by litigants and by judges. In short, the topic of variation in language is an issue that allows for inquiry about courtroom proceedings, and analysts have a reasonable place to begin such an inquiry. Related Studies Studies concerning the use of language in courtroom settings have focused primarily on a broad field of study called forensic linguistics. Forensic linguistics addresses such issues teaching a jury about meaning (Shuy, 2002), the coercive nature of language in courtroom hearings in cross-examination (Fairclough, 1989), language in the legal process (Cotterill, 2002), the nature and structure of witness and defendant accounts in courtroom trials (Harris, 2001), and the use of discourse markers (e.g., now, see, well) in cross- examination (Hale, 1999; Matoesian, 1993). Seldom do investigators examine the interrelationship of sociolinguistic variables that are central to courtroom dialogue, especially such variables pertain to courtroom documentaries and to the study of popular culture. As for popular culture, these documentaries have become a part of the daily television programs similar in popularity to such programs Fear Factor, Survival and the various American Idol events. The presence of these programs points to changes in the viewing habits of Americans. It could have been the case that investigators were not interested in the study of language in courtroom events, or, at least, the study of language that takes into account the variables mentioned above. These variables, has been shown, influence shifts in styles or in registers of language. This line of reasoning should also hold true for those who bring cases to court to be adjudicated within a dramatic environment. A courtroom drama that has come to the attention of this writer is that of Judge Greg Mathis. A salient feature of Judge Mathis' show is his use of various linguistic styles when he promotes the show and when he conducts courtroom proceedings. Specifically, Judge Mathis shifts between formal and informal vanities of language. …" @default.
