Softcover. Condición: Near Fine. LAW Aboriginal -Examines issues relating to language used in evidence in Australian courts; the use of language by witnesses, interpreters in court, case studies of the forensic use of linguistics, and cases involving offensive language.A strong emphasis is placed on the obstacles faced by people… of Aboriginal and non-English speaking backgrounds in this study. It uses court and police transcripts to illustrate the ways in which language can affect the outcome of a legal case.Eleven Australian lawyers and linguists contribute essays to a discussion of how language affects the administration of justice, especially in the case of the Aboriginal people. The discussions use transcripts to illustrate the way language influences a court case, including landmark cases such as the Stuart Royal Commission in 1959, the Kelvin Condren case, the Elquo Island inquest, and the Kenbi Land Claim. In conclusion, two papers consider the meaning of "offensive language," especially when the verbal abuse has been adopted from one culture into another which has no particular stake in the insult. xii, 289 p. ; 20 cm. #101025 Nations (AIATSIS) Subject: Language - Sociolinguistics Settlement and contacts - Ethnic groups, immigration and multiculturalism Australia Subject: Law -- Australia -- Language Aboriginal Australians -- Legal status, laws, etc Minorities -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Australia Law -- Australia Intercultural communication -- Australia Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
