Frontmatter -- Contents -- Investigating legal discourse in the digital landscape -- Contract macrodivisions and the digital age -- Processing of personal data in Court Proceedings: A model for linguistic and legal studies -- Legal specialists telling their stories on the internet: A comparative analysis of professional self-portrayals on German and Italian law firm websites -- Stance features in legal blogging -- The Internet as a game changer in legal communication: Arbitration on the move -- Linguistic markers of participation in international criminal trials -- Making national immigration and asylum case law accessible to a non-Italian audience: The role of intra-lingual translation -- Screening the law: Popularization practices in “How To Get Away With Murder” -- About the authors -- Index
Summary: The primary goal of this book is to reach a better understanding of how the digital revolution has affected language and discourse practices in the field of law. It also explores the complex nature of the techniques and discursive strategies which emerge in the relationship between the different stakeholders (including non-experts) thanks to technological advances. By adopting a discourse analytical perspective which combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the book explores the hybridity of new genres and communicative processes. It provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, as well as any solutions already adopted in their professional areas. Their insights converge in a truly multidisciplinary effort to devise and build advanced networks of knowledge to facilitate the interpretation of data in the field of legal linguistics - with a specific focus on digitalisation processes which concern contemporary legal discourse. The book is meant for scholars interested in the evolution of the interconnection between language and law in digital environments. It also addresses law and linguistics students, ideally with some training in language analysis and particular interest in new media and genres. All necessary linguistic or legal technicalities are, however, approached while bearing in mind a wide range of potential backgrounds and levels of education.
