The volume presents a set of invited papers based on analyses of legal discourse drawn from a number of international contexts where often the English language and legal culture has had to adjust to legal concepts very different from those of the English law system. Many of the papers were inspired by two major projects on legal language and inter-multiculturality: based in Hong Kong and carried out by an international team and a national project supported by the Italian Ministry for Education and Research, involving research units from five Italian universities.weiterlesen
