Abstract:

This volume explores communication and its implications on interpretation,
vagueness, multilingualism, and multiculturalism. It investigates
cross-cultural perspectives with original methods, models, and arguments
emphasizing national, EU, and international perspectives. Both traditional
fields of investigations along with an emerging new field (Legal Visual
Studies) are discussed. Communication addresses the necessity of an ongoing
interaction between jurilinguists and legal professionals. This interaction
requires persuasive, convincing, and acceptable reasons in justifying
transparency, visual analyses, and dialogue with the relevant audience.

The book is divided into five complementary sections: Professional Legal
Communication; Legal Language in a Multilingual and Multicultural Context;
Legal Communication in the Courtroom; Laws on Language and Language Rights;
and Visualizing Legal Communication. The book shows the diversity in the
understanding and practicing of legal communication and paves the way to an
interdisciplinary and cross-cultural operation in our common understanding of
legal communication. This book is suitable for advanced students in
Linguistics and Law, and for academics and researchers working in the field of
Language and Law and jurilinguists.
