He draws on the fields of conversation analysis, ethnomethodology, linguistic anthropology and social theory to show how language practices shape-and are shaped by-culture and the law, particularly in the social construction of rape as a legal fact. This analysis examines linguistic strategies from both defence and prosecution viewpoints, and how they relate to issues of gender, sexual identity, and power UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=169127 ER -
