    James Murphy

    2019
    Edition 1
    • Demonstrates how blame pervades the discourse of the participants at public inquiries
    • Suggests that blame is a healthy and natural part of public life
    • Provides a much-needed linguistic analysis of blame
    • Argues that whilst the establishment of a blame culture can have negative effects, these are not outweighed by the importance of accountability in civic life
    • Uses traditional text linguistic methods, as well as corpus linguistic methods to explore lexical semantics, presupposition, conversational implicature, the notion of the speech act and activity types
