The Linguistics Of Crime

This book explores the social and ideological importance of crime, and the great fascination it holds, from a linguistic angle. Drawing on ideas from stylistics, cognitive linguistics, metaphor theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis and pragmatics, it compares and contrasts the linguistic representation of crime across a range of genres.
