TY - CHAP ID - 863021 AU - Chovanec, Jan PY - 2012 TI - Grammar in the Law VL - Neuveden PB - Wiley-Blackwell CY - Oxford SN - 9781405194730 KW - legal language KW - legal English KW - stylistics KW - discourse analysis KW - forensic linguistics KW - grammar KW - syntactic discontinuity KW - language of contracts KW - legal norm (linguistic structure) UR - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781405198431 N2 - The article is an encyclopedia entry on the general syntactic characteristics of legal language, with a focus on legal English. The text deals with cohesion, modality, grammatical metaphor (the passive and the nominal transformations), syntactic discontinuities in legislative writing (with view to the structure of the legal norm), and syntax in spoken legal (courtroom) discourse. It also overviews attempts aimed at simplifying legal grammar and outlines the uses of syntactic analysis as part of expert legal (linguisic) testimony. ER -
