This volume contributes to the latest studies in legal discourse studies by presenting a descriptive and interpretive analysis of English legal genres used in academic and professional writing contexts. The results of corpora-driven data are discussed through (meta)discourse, genre and other theoretical perspectives, and offer insights into the ways the writers’ discursive practices and meanings shape their membership of the legal community and discipline. The volume attempts to show these ideas in systematic and clear language, and is designed for native and non-native readers whether involved in English applied linguistic research or disciplinary English writing instruction.

Girolamo Tessuto is an Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the Faculty of Law, Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli, Italy.

  • A very inspiring, insightful and comprehensive study of some of the most intriguing legal genres undertaken by a well-established specialist, both in law as well as language, which provides a rare experience for those interested in the intricacies of legal expression.
    - – Vijay K. Bhatia Emeritus Professor, City University of Hong Kong; President, Asia-Pacific LSP and Professional Communication Association ‘Investigating English Legal Genres in Academic and Professional Contexts is a welcome addition […] first of all because of its reliance on corpus-based data and secondly because it provides reliable analyses of both ubiquitous but less often studied text types as well as ones that are studied more often. [….] This book provides important information based on analyses with much-debated but widely accepted methods for both native speakers and non-native speakers of English in the field of law. The author shows shrewd insight and an ability to identify relevant issues in this line f study in his choice of the three genres he analyses: case notes/briefs, which are not often studied probably because they are typical of the legal domain; abstracts to academic papers, which have attracted linguists' attention more often and have been thoroughly analysed, although not only those appearing in law journals and publications; and book reviews, which perhaps represent the middle ground as far as the volume of previous research goes. The book's overall approach builds on models from discourse analysis, genre analysis, rhetoric and linguistic pragmatics.' - Tarja Salmi-Tolonen, University of Turku
