This book examines 52 apologetic allocutions produced during federal sentencing hearings. The practice of inviting defendants to make a statement in their own behalf is a long-standing one and it is understood as offering defendants the opportunity to impress a judge or jury with their remorse, which could be a factor in the sentence that is imposed. Defendants raised the topics of the offense, mitigation, future behaviour and the sentence in different ways and this book explores the pros and cons associated with the different strategies that they used. Because there is no way of ascertaining exactly how effective (or ineffective) an individual allocution is, case law, sociolinguistic and historical resources, and judges' final remarks are used to develop hypotheses about defendants' communicative goals as well as what might constitute an ideal defendant stance from a judge's point of view. The corpus is unique because, unlike official transcripts, the transcripts used for this study include paralinguistic features such as hesitations, wavering voice, and crying-while-talking. Among its highlights, the book proposes that although a ritualized apology formula (e.g., "I'm sorry " or "I apologize ") would appear to be a good fit for the context of allocution and even appears to be expected, the use of these formulas carries implications in this context that do not serve defendants' communicative goals. I argue that the application of Austin's (1962) performative-constative continuum reveals that offense-related utterances that fall closer to the constative end are more consistent with the discursive constraints on the speech event of allocution. Further, I propose that the ideologies associated with allocution, in particular the belief that allocution functions as a protection for defendants, obscures the ways in which the context constrains what defendants can say and how effectively they can say it.
Il narratore che riporta elementi di una vicenda, posta a cavallo della frontiera del credibile, comincia a viverla quando prossimo alla fine della sua lunga attivit lavorativa. Certezze ed ipotesi scientifiche incontrano campi che ne sono prive, credenze diversamente diffuse, fino ad avvicinarsi a frutti spesso dovuti alla sola grande fantasia di cui dispone il cervello umano. Parole d'ordine come "Potere all'immaginazione" proprie della cultura di base di grandi movimenti giovanili dell'et moderna, possono concorrere al superamento di forme di apparenza; che possono mascherare, in tutto od in parte, la sostanza di quanto circonda lo stesso individuo. Fino ad impedire alla ragione di prevalere sull'istinto; modificato, perch aggredito da malcelate ignoranze di pochi che, pure, riescono ad avere un seguito. Fino a riuscire nel vedere "diverso," avversare ci che dispone della stessa nostra sostanza.

Il patrimonio del genere umano, accumulatosi in migliaia di anni, in parte disponibile al giorno d'oggi grazie all'opera di alcuni "grandi" e di innumerevoli "persone comuni." Individui coscienti della unicit del genere, della "razza" presente sulla infinitamente minima porzione dell'esistente Universo alla quale ha assegnato il nome di Pianeta Terra. Le dimensioni di quanto ad esso esterno sfuggono alla percezione dell'uomo. Risulta difficile pensare ad un solo genere, una sola razza che abbia a disposizione qualcosa definibile come Infinito. L'idea, forse la semplice speranza, di incontrare altri organismi con caratteristiche confrontabili con quelle del nostro genere rappresenta un sogno per tanti umani: oggi come ieri. Lo sforzo di conservare la memoria dell'opera dell'uomo ha consentito di poter disporre di Biblioteche, Musei, Archivi, Parchi Archeologici e Naturali, alle presenti generazioni.
