This book will be of interest to readers who want to learn about how linguistic research can inform legal matters and policies that promote social equity, with emphasis on overcoming racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, and xenophobia - particularly in societies where such divisions are accentuated by distinctive languages or dialects.
