Identification of Procedural Acts Performed at the Trial: Considerations in the Context of the Actual Utterances of Non-professional Participants of Court Proceedings

Dr Karolina Gmerek

University of Szczecin

English abstract: The empirical research of the communication process at the trials which were held in common courts indicated, in particular, that the utterances of trial participants, despite their varied verbal forms, were identified as procedural acts. In addition, these verbal forms were often significantly different from the explicit forms where proper legal terms were used. The aforementioned results of the analysis lead the author to pose the following question: what thought processes (mechanisms) allow for the identification of procedural acts based on the utterances which are not explicit for the performance of these acts. The aim of this paper is to describe these types of mechanisms. The utterances of participants of a trial illustrate the issues taken into consideration in this paper.

The examples of communication acts and events used in the article are: (1) components of the normative model of trial; (2) created due to communication practice; (3) examples of the normative model of trial contravening. The specific aim of this article is to describe structural and functional aspects of these communication acts and events, which are created due to communication practice.
