Description

This critical sociolinguistic study examines how courtroom talk functions as a mechanism of social control, using detailed analysis of the cross-examination of three Australian Aboriginal boys in a case against six police officers charged with their abduction. The book investigates the assumptions underlying courtroom language and demonstrates how these linguistic practices serve to legitimize neocolonial control over Indigenous people. Through rigorous examination of courtroom discourse, the author reveals the power dynamics embedded in legal proceedings and their consequences for marginalised communities. Part of the Language, Power and Social Process series, this work combines applied linguistics with legal and social analysis to expose how institutional language reinforces existing power structures. Essential reading for scholars of sociolinguistics, law and language, Indigenous studies, and critical discourse analysis seeking to understand how courtroom communication shapes social outcomes and perpetuates inequality.
