What do you notice about the use of proper nouns and/or pronouns in referring to people and events concerned
In this transcript the Barrister holds power over Mr Neil, when Mr Neil is speaking there are lots of short pauses, filler words and constant repetition of words. This can imply that Mr Neil feels quite unsettled when speaking to the Barrister. When addressing Mr Neil the Barrister calls him by his title 'Mr Neil' this can set the level of formality at this event as he is not using a personal pronoun.

Which parts of dialogue seems prepared or part of a courtroom conventions and which seems spontaneous
Throughout the transcript the Barrister is constantly asking Mr Neil questions that he has prepared, it is implied that he has prepared the questions from the lack of short pauses he has. Whereas when Mr Neil is answering his questions it suggests from the time taken to reply to his questions. When the Barrister says 'The rear of your car (.) now (.) did anything happen to you (.) as a result of driving your car that day?' Mr Neil takes 2.5 seconds to reply with a one word answer and straight after with no delays the Barrister replies, when the Barrister constantly does this it makes Mr Neil feel unsettled as he feels the pressure from the Barrister.

Who seems to have the most power in the dialogue and why?
The Barrister has the most power in this transcript as he is the more confident speaker. When Mr Neil speaks he has lots of repetition 'no i can't remember 'em seeing me no' he has lots of fillers 'er i accidentally (.) bumped it slightly with er' and he has lots of short pauses '(2.5) no' all this can suggest is that Mr Neil feels unsettled by the questions that the Barrister has asked him.

What else seems puzzling/interesting/unusual and why?
I do not find this transcript interesting or unusual, i find it very conventional as it is just a court examination. In this transcript it is just Mr Neil asking yes/no questions it is dominated by the Barrister asking questions, given the context this is exactly how i'd expect it to be.
