The volume Constructing Legal Discourses and Social Practices: Issues and Perspectives brings together European scholars and researchers primarily from a linguistic background to address the realized forms of legal discourse, how these are framed and organized across the participants, activities and purposes in distinctive sites of legal and paralegal communication, and how these discursive forms are closely controlled by social practices. To weave these objectives into a tight thread, the thirteen chapters included in this volume are organised into four Parts, addressing significant issues of legal discourse in a variety of genres (spoken and written) from institutional, professional and organizational contexts of disciplinary communication: Part I - Multi-voiced/dialogic and conceptual analyses of legal discourse Part II - Identity, diversity, equality and justice in legal discourse Part III - Judicial and out-of-court discourse Part IV - Legal discourse in Internet-enabled communication

Abstract
The volume Constructing Legal Discourses and Social Practices: Issues and Perspectives brings together European scholars and researchers primarily from a linguistic background to address the realized forms of legal discourse, how these are framed and organized across the participants, activities and purposes in distinctive sites of legal and paralegal communication, and how these discursive forms are closely controlled by social practices. To weave these objectives into a tight thread, the thirteen chapters included in this volume are organised into four Parts, addressing significant issues of legal discourse in a variety of genres (spoken and written) from institutional, professional and organizational contexts of disciplinary communication: Part I - Multi-voiced/dialogic and conceptual analyses of legal discourse Part II - Identity, diversity, equality and justice in legal discourse Part III - Judicial and out-of-court discourse Part IV - Legal discourse in Internet-enabled communicationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
