Legal English: Subject Specific Literacy and Genre Theory.
Iedema, Rick A. M.
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v16 n2 p86-122 1993
Case notes from an Australian law course illustrate linguistic demands that this academic genre places on non-English-speaking background students. These demands need to be explicit to clarify the association between lexicogrammatical realizations and generic meanings in the discourse. Case notes and a reading assignment are appended. (Contains 26 references.) (Author)
