Legal practitioners, linguists, anthropologists, philosophers and
others have all explored fundamental challenges presented by
language in formulating, interpreting and applying laws. Building
on centuries of interaction between legal practice and
jurisprudence, the modern field of 'law and language', or 'forensic
linguistics', brings insights in linguistics and related fields to
bear on topics including legal drafting and translation, statutory
interpretation, expert evidence on language use and dynamics of
courtroom interaction. This volume presents an interlocking series
of research studies engaged with different legal jurisdictions and
socio-political contexts as well as with the more abstract notion
of 'law'. Together the chapters, written by international leaders
in their fields, highlight recent directions in research and
investigate in particular how law expresses yet also conceals power
relations in its crafted use of words and in the gaps and silence
between those words.
