I begin this introduction with an introduction. This is in part because the title of this thematic issue, "Temporal and modal dimensions of legal discourses", does not really give away much, either about the choice of topics—time, after all, being a dimension of everything and modal notions being ubiquitous in reasoning, communication, and the study of theseâ€or about the choice to investigate "legal discourses" rather than, say, "law", or "laws", or "legal texts", or even "legal discourse".

Martin Aher
pp. 13-42 | DOI: 10.1353/cjl.2013.0006

Some linguistic properties of legal notices <http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/canadian_journal_of_linguistics/v058/58.1.allott.html>
Nicholas Allott, Benjamin Shaer
pp. 43-62 | DOI: 10.1353/cjl.2013.0008

Abstract:
In this article, we consider legal notices of various forms, including imperative, indicative, and non-sentential. We argue that these convey various illocutionary forces depending on their particular content.

"Always speaking"?: Interpreting the present tense in statutes <http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/canadian_journal_of_linguistics/v058/58.1.goldfarb.html>
Neal Goldfarb
pp. 63-83 | DOI: 10.1353/cjl.2013.0010

Abstract:
This article takes a critical look through the lens of linguistics at the "always speaking" principle in law—an influential principle that is recited in materials on legislative drafting as the justification for using the present tense, adopted in many common-law jurisdictions as a principle of interpretation, and accepted as a foundation for the linguistic analysis of the use of tense in statutes.

Résumé:
Cet article étudie dans une perspective linguistique le principe de l'«énonciation continuelle» tel qu'utilisé en droit. Il s'agit d'un principe qui, dans les textes traitant de rédaction législative, est invoqué pour justifier l'emploi du temps présent, qui a été adopté comme principe d'interprétation dans le droit commun de bien des pays ou territoires et qui a été accepté comme base de l'analyse linguistique de l'emploi des temps dans les lois.

Christopher Williams
pp. 105-126 | DOI: 10.1353/cjl.2013.0002
