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.

Recenzijas

"This book fills a vital need in the teaching of Forensic Linguistics - a rapidly developing field that has adequate breadth and depth of teaching resources. The content is well structured, chunked and contextualised to make it digestible for undergraduates, and readily integrated into lectures and tutorial sessions. I heartily commend Durant and Leung for putting this together." Paul Sidwell, Australian National University

"With ample supporting data, a range of topics covering the intersections between language and the law are presented through well written introductory sections, followed by more thought-provoking readings. This is an ideal key text for undergraduate modules but will be equally useful for stimulating postgraduate discussion and research." Michelle Aldridge, Cardiff University, UK

"Forensic linguistics and the language of the courtroom are becoming increasingly important domains for linguists to investigate, and this handsome volume provides insightful, authoritative analysis of all aspects of language and the law in a student-friendly presentation that includes a wealth of detailed analysis and fascinating material." David Deterding, Universiti Brunei Darussalam

"An innovative and thoughtful overview of law and linguistics, giving students valuable examples for practice and study. Instructors and students will find this text a cogent and firm basis for an introduction to language and law." Gail Stygall, University of Washington, USA
