In the Minds of Judges: Argumentative Discourse at the Intersection of Law and Language: 15 (Foundations in Language and Law [FLL], 15)

This book explores the language used in legal arguments. It moves beyond traditional argumentation studies, using corpus linguistics and computational tools combined with a deep understanding of the institutional environment in which legal argumentation takes place. The studies presented in this volume unveil judges’ argumentative discourse and legal interpretation strategies, providing a toolkit for scholars and practitioners alike.
