Language, Culture and the Law : The Formulation of Legal Concepts across Systems and Cultures Paperback / softback
Edited by Paola Evangelisti Allori, Vijay K. Bhatia, Christopher N. Candlin
Part of the Linguistic Insights series
Paperback / softback
Description
The volume presents a set of invited papers based on analyses of legal discourse drawn from a number of international contexts where often the English language and legal culture has had to adjust to legal concepts very different from those of the English law system.
Many of the papers were inspired by two major projects on legal language and inter-multiculturality: Generic Integrity in Legislative Discourse in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts based in Hong Kong and carried out by an international team and Interculturality in Domain-specific English, a national project supported by the Italian Ministry for Education and Research, involving research units from five Italian universities.
