Description

Language ideologies that are circulated in the Anglo-American law of evidence create the potential to speak for, appropriate, and ignore the speech of women who have been victims of domestic violence. This research shows the ways in which a language ideology circulated in the Anglo-American law of evidence draws on and creates indexical links to social discourses, affecting speakers whose utterances are used as evidence in legal contexts. The book examines linguistic strategies and analyzes assumptions about language in the legal text and talk used to evaluate spoken evidence.
