Laura Felton Rosulek analyzes how these arguments construct contrasting representations of the same realities, applying the insights and methodologies of critical discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistics to a corpus of arguments from seventeen trials. Her analysis suggests that silencing (omitting relevant information), de-emphasizing (giving information comparatively less attention and focus), and emphasizing (giving information comparatively more attention and focus) are the key communicative devices that lawyers rely on to create their summations. Through these processes, lawyers' lexical, syntactic, thematic, and discursive patterns, both within individual narratives and across whole arguments, function together to create versions of reality that reflect each individual lawyer's goals and biases."--Book jacket and publisher's website. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Summation (Law)|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010115079 650 0 Forensic oratory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85050553 650 0 Trial practice|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008112924 650 7 Summation (Law)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1138501 650 7 Forensic oratory.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 931984 650 7 Trial practice.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1156264 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFelton Rosulek, Laura.|tDueling discourses|z9780199337613|w(DLC) 2014018517 |w(OCoLC)879642544 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=878372|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
