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. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Applied Linguistics, 25(4), p. 491-512 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1477-450X 0142-6001 |
