Diana Eades (Adjunct Professor, University of New England) specialises in critical sociolinguistics, language in the legal process, and intercultural communication, particularly involving Australian Aboriginal people who speak varieties of English. In addition to her extensive scholarly publications, she provides expert evidence in courts, and delivers training for lawyers, judges and magistrates. At various times she has been President, Vice-President and Secretary of the International Association of Forensic Linguists, and she is co-editor of The International Journal of Speech Language and the Law.
"This is a long-awaited book from one of the leading forensic linguists whose work has had a profound effect on several aspects of the Australian legal system. Diana Eades covers all aspects of interaction within the legal process from the first interview a suspect has with the police, through consultations with lawyers to the complexities of courtroom talk. There is also specific focus on the special problems of child witnesses and those who are not fluent in the language of the court. All readers will find new insights." --Malcolm Coulthard, professor of forensic linguistics, Aston University, UK, on "Sociolinguistics and the Legal Process"
