Event overview
'Non-Native Speakers in US Police Encounters, with special reference to Miranda', with Norma Denton Mendoza. Part of Department of Anthropology Autumn Term Seminar Series
This paper reviews the legal case of Miranda v. Arizona 1966 (commonly known as the case that established the Miranda Warning) and major challenges to it. Conclusions range over 20 cases brought before appellate courts where Miranda rights waivers were disputed by non-native speakers of English. In 13/20 of those cases the waivers were upheld. I postulate 'dit accomplispeech' acts to explain the shifting domain of Miranda jurisdiction, and contribute to understandings of linguistic entrapment of NNS (Mendoza-Denton 2016).
