Jennifer Andrus is an assistant professor of Writing and Rhetoric
Studies at the University of Utah, where she teaches courses on
rhetorical theory, discourse analysis, and legal rhetoric. Her
current research is on domestic violence and the Anglo-American law
of evidence, and the ways in which metadiscourses and text
production constrain discursive agency. She has publications in
Technical Communication Quarterly, Discourse and Society,
Language in Society, and College Composition and Communication.
"[T]his book is rich with information and extremely interesting.
This is an incredibly complex topic; Andrus has to negotiate and
explicate the connections between notions of gender and power,
legal discourse and ideology, and language ideology. The topic
often lends itself to a meta-discourse (language about language
about language), and thus must be a thorny argument to develop and
express. Andrus manages it well; this book is clear and relatively
easy to
understand. While it may be especially appealing to those
researchers studying legal discourse, or those working in discourse
around domestic violence, the book may be accessible and edifying
for anyone
who is interested in the myriad connections between language,
social institutions and ideology" --Discourse & Society
