Discursive Constructions of Consent in the Legal Process
Experts in linguistics and law use diverse theoretical and analytical approaches to demonstrate the complex ways in which language is used to seek, steer, give, or withhold consent in a range of legal contexts. The book illuminates problematic issues in legal practices and procedures that may otherwise be uncritically accepted
Aboriginal English
Aboriginal Ways of Using English
The majority of Australian Aboriginal people speak some kind of English. But often this is not quite the same as English spoken by other Australians. This book presents results of sociolinguistic research about Aboriginal ways of using English in non-remote Australia, by bringing together a number of my publications over a thirty-year period. The focus is on language and communication of Aboriginal people who speak English as their first and main…
Communication with Aboriginal Speakers of English in the Legal Process
This paper provides an overview of sociolinguistic issues concerning communication in the legal process between non-Aboriginal people using General Australian English and Aboriginal people using other varieties of English. It draws on three types of evidence: published research, specific cases, and communication with Aboriginal people, lawyers, judges and magistrates. Specific cases exemplify distinctive Aboriginal features of English in grammar,…
The social consequences of language ideologies in courtroom cross-examination
Investigations of inequality within the courtroom have mostly examined ways in which discourse structure and rules of use constrain witnesses. This article goes beyond interactional practices to deal with four central language ideologies, which both facilitate these practices and impact on the interpretation and understanding of what people say in evidence. The article further shows that language ideologies can have much wider consequences beyond…

Telling and Retelling Your Story in Court: Questions, Assumptions and Intercultural Implications
This article presents a sociolinguistic examination of the ways in which stories are told and retold in the criminal justice process, particularly in court. The main argument concerns the fundamental contradictions between everyday storytelling and retelling on the one hand, and the expectations and interpretations of storytelling and retelling in court on the other. Drawing on research on police interviews, lawyer interviews and courtroom talk, …

Lexical struggle in court: Aboriginal Australians versus the state1
This paper presents a critical sociolinguistic exploration of the cross-examination of three young teenage Australian Aboriginal boys in a Queensland court. The boys alleged that they had been abducted by six police officers, so they were prosecution witnesses in the case against the police officers. The paper examines the lexical strategies used by defence counsel to construct these victim-witnesses as criminals with 'no regard for the community…
Applied Linguistics and Language Analysis in Asylum Seeker Cases
When asylum seekers flee persecution or war in their home countries, they often arrive in a new country seeking asylum, without documentation that can prove their nationality. They are thus open to the accusation that they are not actually fleeing persecution and/or war, but they are from another country and they are merely seeking ‘a better life’. Indeed, among those who seek asylum there may well be some such people. Anyone arriving in such a w…
Using language in the determination of national origin of asylum seekers: An introduction
One of the newest areas of forensic linguistics concerns the use of 'language analysis' in the determination of the nationality of refugee claimants or asylum seekers (i.e. in testing their nationality claims). We first explain briefly in general terms how and why this language analysis is carried out; second, we review existing linguistic literature concerning such analysis; and third, we examine in more detail the steps involved in the language…

Understanding Aboriginal English in the Legal System: A Critical Sociolinguistics Approach
This paper reviews sociolinguistic work which has addressed the provision of justice for Aboriginal English (AE) speakers in Australia. It questions the assumptions about cultural and linguistic diversity and inequality which underlie this work, and proposes a critical sociolinguistic approach, which draws on social theory in the analysis of how language is involved in the failure of the legal system to deliver justice
Linguistic identification in the determination of nationality: A preliminary report
I don't think it's an answer to the question: Silencing Aboriginal witnesses in court
This study investigates the evidence of Australian Aboriginal witnesses in a New South Wales country courthouse, focusing on how and why witnesses are silenced in examination-in-chief, both by their own lawyer and by the judge. The analysis questions the assumption in previous sociolinguistic research that the syntactic form of questions is inherently related to the way in which power is exercised in court. Further, the article highlights how wit…

Legal recognition of cultural differences in communication: The case of Robyn Kina
Forensic linguistics in Australia: An overview
This article provides an overview of expert evidence given by linguists in Australian courts. This linguistic evidence has been primarily in two areas: analysis of police records of interview, and speaker identification on taperecordings. While linguistic evidence in the latter area tends to be uncontested, most courts have ruled that linguistic evidence concerning police records of interview is not legally admissible. Increased attention from th…
The case for Condren: Aboriginal English, pragmatics and the law
Communicative strategies in Aboriginal English
Most definitions and descriptions of Aboriginal English confine themselves to formal linguistic structures, for example, phonology, syntax, and vocabulary. Although some Aboriginal speakers of English may share a common grammar with speakers of Standard Australian English (see e.g. Kaldor and Malcolm, this volume), they do not necessarily share meanings and interpretation because of the sociocultural context of Aboriginal ways of speaking. For ex…
