商品描述
This book examines the African oral legal tradition through the case study of the Banen community of Cameroon, employing a multidisciplinary forensic linguistics framework that synthesises methods from diverse socio-legal, linguistic and ethnographic disciplines. By highlighting the intersection of law and language in indigenous contexts, the author evaluates how well customary law can achieve peaceful outcomes despite the challenges of multilingualism in a courtroom setting. Ultimately, this book advocates for the preservation and recognition of African oral legal traditions, emphasising their significance within contemporary legal discourse. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and advanced students of forensic linguistics primarily, but also to the wider population of researchers in applied linguistics, ethnography and legal studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書透過對喀麥隆Banen社區的案例研究，探討非洲的口述法律傳統，並採用一種多學科的法醫語言學框架，綜合來自不同社會法律、語言學和民族誌學科的方法。作者強調法律與語言在本土背景中的交集，評估習慣法在法庭環境中面對多語言挑戰時，能夠達成和平結果的程度。最終，本書主張保護和承認非洲的口述法律傳統，強調其在當代法律話語中的重要性。本書主要對法醫語言學的學者、實務工作者和高級學生感興趣，但也對應用語言學、民族誌學和法律研究的更廣泛研究人員具有吸引力。
