Eades Diana Eades (University of New England) Diana.Eades@une.edu.au Language ideologies and courtroom talk Over the course of about three decades, sociolinguistic research has documented a number of specific ways in which defendants and witnesses are controlled, coerced and manipulated through the rigid and asymmetrical discourse structure of courtroom hearings. This research focuses mainly on interactional constraints as well as the linguistic structure of questions. More recently, sociolinguistic research on courtroom talk has broadened beyond question-answer pairs and lexical choice, and our understanding of the mechanisms of power and control is benefiting from work originating in critical theory, linguistic anthropology and narrative analysis. In this paper I focus on the role of language ideologies in the ways in which people are restricted in telling and retelling their story in the legal process, as well as the ways in which legal decision makers evaluate these stories. Language ideologies can be defined as taken-for-granted assumptions about how language works. For example, one of the language ideologies which underpins the central courtroom practice of cross-examination is the assumption that the best way to find out if a person is honest in their account of what happened is by asking repeated questions (the ideology of repeated questioning). Drawing on the work of Eades (2008a, 2008b, <strong>2010</strong>), Ehrlich (e.g. 2001, Matoesian (2001) and Trinch (e.g. 2003), this paper will discuss four language ideologies which play an important role in courtroom hearings: the ideology of inconsistency, the ideology of decontextualised fragments, the ideology of narrator authorship, and the ideology of repeated questioning. I will conclude with some remarks about the ways in which these language ideologies can be instrumental in the failure of the legal system to deliver justice.
