Guidelines for communicating rights to non-native speakers of English in Australia, England and Wales, and the USA
The purpose of these guidelines, prepared by linguistic and legal experts from Australia, England
and Wales, and the United States, is to articulate recommendations in terms of (a) wording of
the rights/cautions (Part A) and (b) communication of the rights/cautions to non-native
speakers of English (Part B). These recommendations are grounded in linguistic and
psychological research on the comprehension of rights (listed in the Appendix) and in our
collective experience of working with cases involving the understanding of rights by non-native
speakers of English.
