Abstract:
The chapters constituting this volume focus on legal language seen from
cross-cultural perspectives, a topic which brings together two areas of
research that have burgeoned in recent years, i.e. legal linguistics and
intercultural studies, reflecting the rapidly changing, multifaceted world
in which legal institutions and cultural/national identities interact.
Within the broad thematic leitmotif of this volume, it has been possible to
identify two major strands: legal discourse across languages on the one
hand, and legal discourse across cultures on the other. Of course, labels
of this kind are adopted partly as a matter of convenience, and it could be
argued that any paper dealing with legal discourse across languages
inevitably has to do with legal discourse across cultures. But a closer
inspection of the papers comprising each of these two strands reveals that
there is a coherent logic behind the choice of labels. All seven chapters
in the first section are concerned with legal topics where more than one
language is at stake, whereas all seven chapters in the second section are
concerned with legal topics where cultural differences are brought to the fore.
