| Abstract: |
The way in which one expresses oneself is a reflection of many crucial aspects of identity, including national or ethnic origin, class, and even gender. In this paper, the author examines the problem of discrimination, primarily in the context of employment, which is directly related to the way in which individuals speak the dominant language. The author considers the ways in which the law may reinforce language standards which favour the dominant idiom. She also considers the uses and limitations of human rights legislation for addressing discrimination related to non-standard use of the dominant language. |
