Reseña del libro "Dialect as Evidence: Regional Speech Patterns in Forensic Case Work (en Inglés)"

One voice on a cassette tape sent Britain's biggest manhunt in the wrong direction. The accent was perfectly genuine. That was the problem. In 1979, detectives played a taunting recording and trusted what the vowels told them. Dialect specialists placed the speaker with remarkable skill, and the speaker was still the wrong man. Dialect as Evidence asks the question that case never stopped raising: when a voice speaks, what is it really telling us, and who is hurt when we hear too much? Dr. Nikolai Achterberg takes you into the strangest corner of the justice system, where a vowel, a verb form or a word for a bread roll can end up in front of a judge. In clear, vivid prose, with no jargon you will have to look up, he follows real cases from the interview room to the border post to the witness stand. Inside, you will discover: How a statement is really made, and why police wording can quietly replace a suspect's own words, from the Derek Bentley case to the Timothy Evans statements How a backwards saying about cake helped connect a bomber to his manifesto Why two matching voices can prove almost nothing, and the numbers that show when they prove a great deal What happened when court reporters were tested on everyday African American English Why an accent should never decide where a person is from, and why asylum cases demand extra care How cloned voices are rewriting what investigators thought they knew Twelve questions you can put to any expert, any headline and any recording Whether you love true crime, study language, practise law, report the news, sit on a jury or write fiction that must ring true, this book gives you a way of listening that you cannot unlearn. Every voice carries a history. Very few people know how to read it honestly. Learn how, in a single gripping read.
