Abstract:

Over recent decades, legal language and its representation of social action,
social actors and social practices have provided systematic insights into the
meaning and function of text, discourse or talk realised in academic,
professional and institutional sites of communication, and generated a variety
of data for analysis, method and theory. 

Constructing Legal Discourses and Social Practices, the first issue of the
Legal Discourse and Communication international series, looks descriptively
and interpretatively at the realised forms of legal discourse and how these
are framed and organised by social practices within distinctive sites of legal
communication. The four main parts of the book provide a broad coverage of key
issues and perspectives arising from a variety of genres (spoken, as well as
written) employed in institutional, professional and organisational
communication of the law, and bring into focus recent research where language
and law play out in the real world. 

This invaluable book is multi-dimensional and multi-perspectival in its design
and implementation, and will be an essential reference for those researching
and working in the areas of applied linguistics and for postgraduate students.

costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
