Summary
In the conclusion, I sum up the arguments of the book by looking in two directions: first, toward language theory and second, toward domestic violence. On the side of language theory, I have made arguments about identity, indexicality and narrative, and then I have correlated them with arguments about staying/leaving narratives, emotional violence, and other facets of domestic violence. The narrative and analytical piece that holds it all together is law enforcement. In this conclusion chapter, I also review and comment on issues such as sexuality and race that I did not deal with in the book, proper.
