Description

Explore the complex relationship between law and linguistics with Lawyers' Language: The Distinctiveness of Legal Language by Routledge. This study provides an examination of law as a form of discourse, looking closely at how ordinary language transforms into a specialized system for legal use. While many believe that legal discourse is unnecessarily obscure, this book offers a unique perspective by arguing that the development of this special language can be justified. It challenges the common myth that the law can be written in plain or ordinary language. Instead, it traces the origins of linguistic obscurity within the legal system to explain why these specific communication patterns exist. This book is an essential resource for those interested in how the law functions through language. It moves beyond simple definitions to look at the actual use of discourse in the legal field, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on business, finance, and law.
