GENDER-BASED MISCOMMUNICATION IN LEGAL DISCOURSE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE CLARITY OF LEGAL LANGUAGE

Content Provider Springer Nature Link
Author TIESZEN, BOZENA PANTOGA, HEATHER
Copyright Year 2006
Abstract Language of the law, due to historical, sociological and cultural factors, is often characterized as linguistically obscure and difficult to understand. This is often at odds with the concept that clarity of a message conveyed during court proceedings is crucial to the understanding of the mechanics of the legal processes, as well as their outcome. The present analysis examines structural and lexical features used by men and women litigators in court. This investigation concentrates in particular on those linguistic features used by lawyers that lead to gender-based miscommunication that may adversely influence the outcome of the proceedings. The linguistic features that were examined included the use of syntactically complex utterances and obsolete vocabulary. The data included transcripts of court proceedings and were collected at Milwaukee County Courthouse, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The analysis revealed that men lawyers use structurally complex language more frequently than women lawyers. The present investigation provides evidence that recognizing different gender specific discourse strategies may significantly improve the clarity of legal language.
