• Sommario/riassunto: This new collection by Professor Diana Eades addresses the way non-traditional language Aboriginal speakers of English use and speak English. To understand Aboriginal ways of speaking English leads to better understanding Aboriginal identity, a better engagement in intercultural communication, and learning about the complexities of how English is used by and with Aboriginal people in the legal process.
