This book is the second volume of the publication on , edited by Panagiotis G. Krimpas and Lelija Socanac. It contains ten chapters on legal language and/or discourse issues with particular focus on topics ranging from Eurolects and intrasystemic variation of legal terminology to specific geographical legal language varieties, plain legal language, neology, and emerging legal discourses with environmental relevance, discussed through the lens of contemporary approaches and research methods. The chapters are distributed in two parts, each comprising five contributions. The first part discusses issues of legal language that can be mostly attributed to intrasystemic chronological, sociolectal and/or institutional variation and intersystemic diatopic variation connected with pluricentricity, while the second deals with terminological and text-linguistic approaches. The book will be useful primarily for academics, linguists, legal translators and lawyers, and it can also provide additional reading for students of law, legal linguistics and/or legal translation.
