Excellent- More about Law, Language and the Courtroom: Legal Linguistics and the Discourse of Judges
This book explores the language of judges, looking at how it is argued, constructed, interpreted, and perceived. It focuses on four central themes: constructing judicial discourse and judicial identities, judicial argumentation and evaluative language, judicial interpretation, and clarity in judicial discourse. Contributors include legal linguists, lawyers, legal scholars, legal practitioners, legal translators, and anthropologists, who explore patterns of linguistic organization and use in judicial institutions and analyze language as an instrument for understanding the judicial decision-making process and its outcome.

This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate language used by judges, aiming to unravel the complexities of judicial discourse. Drawing from a diverse range of disciplinary and methodological approaches, it delves into the intricate ways in which judicial communication is constructed, interpreted, and perceived. With a focus on four central themes—constructing judicial discourse and judicial identities, judicial argumentation and evaluative language, judicial interpretation, and clarity in judicial discourse—the book strives to provide a thorough and in-depth analysis of the current critical issues surrounding the role of language in judicial settings. Contributors, including legal linguists, lawyers, legal scholars, legal practitioners, legal translators, and anthropologists, examine patterns of linguistic organization and usage within judicial institutions, while also analyzing language as a powerful tool for understanding the judicial decision-making process and its outcomes.
This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars in legal linguistics, as well as those who specialize in judicial argumentation and reasoning, and forensic linguists who are interested in the application of language in judicial contexts. By shedding light on the linguistic nuances and complexities that shape judicial discourse, this book offers valuable insights into the legal profession and the broader societal implications of language use in legal settings.
