Legal Linguistics Beyond Borders: Language and Law in a World of Media, Globalisation and Social Conflicts: Relaunching the International Language and Law Association (ILLA)

The world of law has changed in the last decades: it has become more globalized, multilingual and digital. The contributions of this volume continue the interdisciplinary discussion about the challenges of this change for theory and practice of law and for the International Language and Law Association (ILLA) relaunched in 2017, introducing the research field of legal linguistics in different parts of the world and considering multilingualism, power abuse and mediatization of the law.
