I did not get to read everything (I'm at work), but I am impressed with what I did read. Your paper on Miranda is quite good - if you have not already read ONLY WORDS, by Catherine MacKinnon, I think you should do so. It's on a different subject - (pornography not being protected speech because it is not speech at all, rather it's an act) - but I think you will find it interesting since you touched on sociolinguistics in your paper. - Cari O.
