AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This chapter takes as a case study some translation work I did for the Law Reform Commission in 1981. The task was to phrase into spoken language - understandable by Aborigines in remote communities - a legal proposal for the incorporation of aspects of Aboriginal customary law into general Australian law. It was, thus, a translation from formal written English into spoken Aboriginal English.' (139)
