Overview
Language plays an essential role both in creating law and in governing its implementation. Providing an accessible and comprehensive introduction to this subject, Language and Law:
- describes the different registers and genres that make up spoken and written legal language and how they develop over time;
- analyses real-life examples drawn from court cases from different parts of the world, illustrating the varieties of English used in the courtroom by speakers occupying different roles;
- addresses the challenges presented to our notions of law and regulation by online communication;
- discusses the complex role of translation in bilingual and multilingual jurisdictions, including Hong Kong and Canada; and
- provides readings from key scholars in the discipline, including Lawrence Solan, Peter Goodrich, Marianne Constable, David Mellinkoff, and Chris Heffer.
With a wide range of activities throughout, this accessible textbook is essential reading for anyone studying language and law or forensic linguistics.
