Opis

This book describes law from the perspective of its language. The author proposes a theory of the legal language as language used in legally relevant communicational situations. He focuses on legal-linguistic operations such as legal argumentation and legal interpretation that steer the legal discourse.

Recenzje

«Despite being highly technical and, as the title itself suggests, taking the form of lecturing, this work is accessible and, due to its interdisciplinary nature, should be of benefit to people of various disciplines for diverse purposes, which may be demonstrated by considering its key findings and contributions. [...] On the whole, Lectures on Legal Linguistics has successfully demonstrated that the legal-linguistic approach to explaining how law operates could have significant consequences not only for teaching and researching law as an academic discipline but also and especially for understanding and bettering law as a practice of adjudication.»
