Abstract: | The author starts out from the assumption that an utterance which serves as an accusation requires an identifiable structuring of discourse. Basing herself on a vast review of literature on the subject the author concludes that 'accusations may be accomplished by an attribution of power joined to a recommendation, or by an attribution of expertise coupled with description which specifically denies the possibility of expertise'(p.123). |
