"Can a large corporation actually own English words or prefixes? Should dictionaries be used to describe how language is used by the public? How can linguistics help lawyers in their trademark cases? What do lawyers need to know about how language works in order to win their cases? In this book, Professor Shuy addresses and illustrates these questions, noting the differences between linguistics and law in their underlying assumptions, values and beliefs about knowledge authority and power. His experience in ten sample trademark cases frames the discussion. In five of these cases, the testimony of linguists opposing his testimony is also presented, offering different linguistic perspectives on the same issues. The book concludes with suggestions first for lawyers, and then for linguists, as they work on trademark cases together. The book is timely, since trademark cases are largely about language and more and more corporations and lawyers are turning to linguists for help."--BOOK JACKET.

"Brodie Farrell has all but put her detective agency, Looking for Something?, on hold while she tends to her new baby, born with a rare condition. Now, as her son's health issues stabilize and longtime friend Daniel Hood offers to care for him, she finds herself drawn back to the business of searching ... particularly for a killer who some suspect is Dimmock Police superintendent Jack Deacon ... her baby's father. The victim is Joe Loomis, a nasty underworld character with a grudge against Deacon, who calmly threatened Brodie and baby Jonathan. Loomis's dying words have incriminated the police superintendent, and now the brass have removed Deacon from the case for both motive and opportunity. But when suspicions of a terrorist attack turn the focus away from the circumstantial and toward the truly horrifying, Brodie finds herself in the midst of a panic stricken town turning violent while a killer watches closely from the sidelines"--Cover verso.
