Linguistic analysis

You may choose one of the following: Threats, Twitter Threats, Ransom Notes, False Confessions, Wiretap/Undercover Transcripts or Bribery.
Your analysis should involve a full description of the overall pragmatic information of the case. Consider this to be a summary of the overall circumstances, the participants, the criminal charge(s), the linguistic evidence, etc.
Pick one piece of oral or written linguistic evidence, and if it is a long example or there are multiple pieces of linguistic evidence, then focus on one piece of evidence and/or one portion of it for discourse/topic analysis.
Identify the criteria/standard(s) that define the case as the particular type of language crime.
Identify the subsystems of language connected to your analysis and/or an expert’s analysis, types of speech acts, directness/indirectness/ambiguity, the presence (or lack thereof) of the Cooperative Principle, and the presence of “plausible deniability” (if applicable).
