Aboriginal ways of using English showcases the rich career of pioneer forensic linguist, Professor Diana Eades. It brings together a selection of Eades' publications over the past three decades, mapping her evolving approaches: from ethnographic description, through forensic linguistics, to critical sociolinguistics. Eades highlights how sociocultural differences can present challenges for intercultural communication. This has significant implications for equitable participation in the Australian justice system, a key focus in the latter papers in the book.
