More about the book
Focusing on the language used in public inquiries, this book explores how blame is articulated, avoided, and negotiated within these quasi-legal contexts. It offers a linguistic perspective on blame, traditionally examined by moral philosophers and social scientists, especially as public inquiries become more frequent. Through detailed analysis of inquiry processes, questioning patterns, and the dynamics of blame assignment, the author highlights its pervasive role and concludes with insights on enhancing public inquiry practices. This work is valuable for scholars and readers interested in political language and various social sciences.
