Reviews

(...) the book is very interesting, involving and useful. It extensively and clearly covers all aspects of the defence system in the 17th century English courtroom and it reaches out to a great number of scholars interested in different areas of expertise. (Anna Ewa Majek, The Linguist List 03/2013) This is a fascinating book, both in terms of its level of scholarship and usability, and also in terms of its ability to make socio-pragmatic analysis accessible to researchers and practitioners from other fields who want to benefit from this approach to data to make a difference in the standards of practice in their community, or strike out in a new direction in the fields of historical- and socio-pragmatics. (Isamar Coromoto Carrillo Masso, Discourse Studies 16, 2014/3)
