Beschreibung
This volume widens the scope of Legal Linguistics from the
traditional focus on performative texts like statutes to
the popularization of legal knowledge for different
purposes. The chapters, written in English, German or
French, discuss the theoretical basis and methods and
investigate popularization efforts by national
institutions, law firms and community websites. The objects
of study cover a variety of modes and media from different
national contexts reaching from print folders over online
written texts to YouTube videos and movies.
