Abstract:

The volume "Legal Pragmatics" is a contribution to the interface between
language and law. It looks at how the principles of language use can be
beneficial to clarifying legal issues, its twelve chapters (together with the
Introduction) offering a wide spectrum of the latest approaches to the area of
legal pragmatics. The four chapters in the first section are devoted to
historical pragmatics and take a diachronic look at old courtroom records.
Written legal language is also the focus of the four chapters in the next
section, dealing with the pragmatics of modern legal writing. The chapters in
the third section, devoted to modern legal language, touch upon both the
discourse in the courtroom and in police investigation. Finally, the two
chapters in the last section on legal discourse and multilingualism address a
topic very relevant to the modern era of globalisation -- the position of
legal discourse in multilingual contexts.
