Los caminos de la lengua


Book Description

El presente libro es un homenaje a la figura y a la vida académica de Enrique Alcaraz Varó y, muy especialmente, a su dedicación durante más de treinta años como docente e investigador de la Universidad de Alicante. Fue catedrático de Filología Inglesa y publicó innumerables trabajos de gran impacto, impartiendo sus enseñanzas por todo el mundo. El volumen está organizado en cuatro grandes bloques en los que puede sistematizarse el análisis y la investigación del profesor Alcaraz: la enseñanza y adquisición de lenguas; la literatura, cultura y crítica; la lingüística; y la traducción e interpretación. Toda su obra gira en torno a los valores más amplios de la lengua y sus relaciones con la sociedad, es decir, se centra en la interdisciplinariedad entre la lengua y cualquier hecho o fenómeno de la vida.




Legal Linguistics Beyond Borders: Language and Law in a World of Media, Globalisation and Social Conflicts


Book Description

The world of law has changed in the last decades: it has become more globalized, multilingual and digital. The sections and 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. First, the book gives a broad overview to the research field of legal linguistics, its history, research directions and open questions in different parts of the world (United States, Africa, Italy, Spain, Germany, Nordic countries and Russia). The second section consists of contributions about the relation of language, law and justice in a globalized world with a focus on multilingual and supranational law in the EU. The third section focuses on digitalization and mediatization of the law, the last section reports about the discussion at the ILLA relaunch conference in 2017.




Comparative Legal Linguistics


Book Description

This book examines legal language as a language for special purposes, evaluating the functions and characteristics of legal language and the terminology of law. Using examples drawn from major and lesser legal languages, it examines the major legal languages themselves, beginning with Latin through German, French, Spanish and English. This second edition has been fully revised, updated and enlarged. A new chapter on legal Spanish takes into account the increasing importance of the language, and a new section explores the use (in legal circles) of the two variants of the Norwegian language. All chapters have been thoroughly updated and include more detailed footnote referencing. The work will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the areas of legal history and theory, comparative law, semiotics, and linguistics. It will also be of interest to legal translators and terminologists.




Introducción a la Sintaxis del Español


Book Description

Written in Spanish by an experienced instructor, this textbook introduces students with no prior background in linguistics to the syntax of Spanish, exploring the building blocks of complex linguistic expressions. Variations across Spanish are highlighted and varieties spoken by bilinguals are included. New concepts are clearly presented through a gradual progression from simpler to more complex concepts, with definitions of key terms highlighted in boxes. Recent theoretical developments are presented in a theory-neutral framework, offering students a balanced perspective. Chapter learning objectives, numerous detailed examples, and summaries, enable students to build a solid knowledge and understanding of syntactic ideas from scratch. Both advanced and introductory exercises are included in every chapter, allowing students at all levels to put concepts into practice. Further reading suggestions, and expansion boxes highlight more complex developments, providing students with a platform for further exploration. This is an essential resource for introductory courses on Spanish syntax and linguistics.
