| Abstract
|
:
|
Three attorneys and three linguistics scholars contribute five essays focusing on the intersection of language and law in deaf communities. Coverage includes the language problems of minorities in legal settings, the interrogation of deaf people, interpretation issues for juries that include deaf people, and the basic issue of word meanings in lay and legal contexts. The concluding paper, "Misunderstanding, Wrongful Convictions, and Deaf People," is written by an experienced public defender not trained in or experienced with the legal problems of the deaf, and is included to provide an informed outside perspective. For linguists and others interested in legal issues as they effect deaf people. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
