Abstract | Gumperz and Hymes have stated the theoretical goal of one type of sociolinguistic investigation as the characterization of communicative competence, "what a speaker needs to know to communicate effectively in culturally significant settings." This knowledge is seen as describable by a set of rules constraining verbal behavior in reference to social context. The trial courtroom is a setting of considerable cultural significance in America. This paper is a discussion of some of the types of rules required to account for communicative competence in a trial setting. The discussion makes use of Hymes' (1972) descriptive framework. Previous linguistic and sociolinguistic studies relevant to the topic are also reviewed. (Author) |
