Traumatic Events: A Linguistic Perspective
KREJČOVÁ, Eliška
The goal of the thesis is to examine traumatic events from a linguistic perspective in detail. People who talk about their traumatic experiences use language in a specific way, and others who are a part of the conversation should adapt their expectations accordingly. Therefore, the thesis will mainly focus on what the discourse of traumatic events looks like and how we use narrative and other linguistic phenomena when it comes to this area. This information will be used to describe how we should try to perceive people with traumatic experiences and how to interpret their utterances. Both theoretical and applied linguistics will be used to achieve this goal, as well as interdisciplinary fields such as psycholinguistics. The thesis will then also work with sources from the areas of law and psychology. It will examine court cases connected to witness accounts of traumatic events and also psychological handbooks which deal with this phenomenon.
