[Histling-l] New publication: Corpus-based research on variation in English legal discourse.

[PAULA RODRIGUEZ PUENTE]

New publication on the synchrony and diachrony of English legal discourse

Dear colleagues,
Please find below and attached information on a new monograph on English legal discourse past and present that has just come out:

Teresa Fanego & Paula Rodríguez-Puente, eds. 2019. Corpus-based research on variation in English legal discourse. (Studies in Corpus Linguistics 91). Amsterdam: John Benjamins. viii + 294 pp. ISBN: 9789027202352.
“This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the research carried out over the past thirty years in the vast field of legal discourse. The focus is on how such research has been influenced and shaped by developments in corpus linguistics and register analysis, and by the emergence from the mid 1990s of historical pragmatics as a branch of pragmatics concerned with the scrutiny of historical texts in their context of writing. The five chapters in Part I (together with the introductory chapter) offer a wide spectrum of the latest approaches to the synchronic analysis of cross-genre and cross-linguistic variation in legal and parliamentary discourse. Part II addresses diachronic variation, illustrating how a diversity of methods, such as multi-dimensional analysis, move analysis, collocation analysis, and Darwinian models of language evolution can uncover new understandings of diachronic linguistic phenomena.”
