This volume presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of
major developments in the study of how phraseology is used in a
wide range of different legal and institutional contexts. This
recent interest has been mainly sparked by the development of
corpus linguistics research, which has both demonstrated the
centrality of phraseological patterns in language and provided
researchers with new and powerful analytical tools. However, there
have been relatively few empirical studies of word combinations in
the domain of law and in the many different contexts where legal
discourse is used. This book seeks to address this gap by
presenting some of the latest developments in the study of this
linguistic phenomenon from corpus-based and interdisciplinary
perspectives. The volume draws on current research in legal
phraseology from a variety of perspectives: translation,
comparative/contrastive studies, terminology, lexicography,
discourse analysis and forensic linguistics. It contains
contributions from leading experts in the field, focusing on a wide
range of issues amply illustrated through in-depth corpus-informed
analyses and case studies. Most contributions to this book are
multilingual, featuring different legal systems and legal
languages. The volume will be a valuable resource for linguists
interested in phraseology as well as lawyers and legal scholars,
translators, lexicographers, terminologists and students who wish
to pursue research in the area.
