Abstract

On 13 July 2014, 18-year-old Conrad Henri Roy III committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. Conrad’s girlfriend, Michelle Carter, was accused of encouraging his suicide through a series of text messages and a phone call insisting Conrad ‘get back in the car’ which was filling with carbon monoxide; she was eventually found guilty on charges of involuntary manslaughter, a charge which sparked discussion around the lack of encouraged suicide legislation. This article examines the text messages between Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy and asks what we can learn from them for the purpose of designing analytical frameworks for courtroom evidence in cases of encouraged suicide. Using the attitude sub-system of appraisal analysis, Carter’s evaluation of emotive states, judgement of Roy’s character and level of value awarded to certain concepts are considered alongside how these appraisals may have been employed to elicit a persuasion response.
运用评估理论和米歇尔·卡特的文章来协助开发一种分析鼓励性自杀案件证据的方法
2014年7月13日,18岁的康拉德·亨利·罗伊三世一氧化碳中毒自杀。康拉德的女友米歇尔·卡特被指控通过一系列短信和电话鼓励他自杀,要求康拉德“回到车里”,车里装满了一氧化碳;她最终被判犯有过失杀人罪,这一指控引发了关于缺乏鼓励自杀立法的讨论。本文研究了米歇尔·卡特和康拉德·罗伊之间的短信,并询问我们可以从中学到什么,以便为鼓励自杀案件的法庭证据设计分析框架。利用评价分析的态度子系统,Carter对情绪状态的评价,对Roy性格的判断,对某些概念的价值水平,以及这些评价如何被用来引发说服反应,都被考虑在内。
