Description

Explore the essential connection between linguistics and the legal system with Language and the Law. This comprehensive introduction examines how language functions within the legal process, providing a deep look at how words impact judicial outcomes. Featuring a foreword by Roger W. Shuy, this text bridges the gap between linguistic theory and legal practice. Each chapter addresses specific language issues through the lens of real-world legal cases. By reviewing excerpts from judicial decisions, Professor Schane demonstrates how judges confront linguistic challenges in their rulings. The book presents these problems from both a legal and a linguistic perspective, making it a valuable resource for understanding how each field informs the other. Readers will gain a better understanding of how specific linguistic elements influence the law. The text covers vital topics such as ambiguity, vagueness, and metaphor, alongside more technical concepts like legal fiction and presupposition. This book is an important tool for anyone looking to understand the role of language in the courtroom and the broader legal landscape.
