The study demonstrates that closing arguments are multimodal performances whose persuasiveness results from the combination of modes (speech, image, video, gaze, gesture, posture, proxemics) which contextualise and strengthen one another, rather than language alone. Drawing on earlier research into multimodality, courtroom rhetoric and proximity in disciplinary genres, the analysis centres on the ways in which the defence counsel controls the rhetorical features of his narrative and constructs himself and the audience as people with similar understandings and goals. 2023-09-25T04:21:06Z 2023-09-25T04:21:06Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11196-023-09984-z https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9194 en application/pdf Springer
