المستخلص

The study attempts to investigate verbal abuse in Depp and Heard's trial from a forensic linguistic approach. To achieve research aims, the study is based upon the KUB Theory including Knowing, Unknowing and Believing positions. By employing such model, the study examines the types of questions asked to Johnny Depp & Amber Heard in the case in question. Depp's lawyer's Knowing position, for instance, has a pivotal role in rebutting Heard's  lies & false accusations. Eventually, forensic linguistic analysis of types of questions addressed to major participants according to the KUB Theory including Depp,  Heard and  Kate James has referred to only fact that Heard is the verbal abuser to almost all people around her.
تتركز الدراسة حول الإساءات اللفظية فى محاكمة جونى ديب وأمبر هيرد من منظور لغوى قانونى. ولتحقيق هذا الهدف تُبنى الدراسة على نظرية المعرفة والجهل والاعتقاد لمعرفة أنماط الأسئلة التى وُجهت لكل من جونى ديب وأمبر هيرد فى هذا الصدد. معرفة محامى جونى جيب- على سبيل المثل- لعبت دورا مهما فى دحض أكاذيب أمبر هيرد وكذلك اتهاماتها الباطلة من الأساس. على أية حال أكدت الدراسة من خلال تحليل الأسئلة الموجهة لأطراف القضية واستخدام النظرية سالفة الذكر إلى حقيقة واحدة أن هيرد أساءت لمعظم الناس حولها لفظيا.
