Abstract: Language is used to communicate meanings, not only in ordinary settings, but also in professional ones.An important professional setting where language plays a key role is represented by the legal field and its related sub-fields.The language of the law, also termed legal discourse, refers to both spoken and written types (Tiersma, 1999).In order to distinguish them, the specialised literature uses language in the courtroom, language of the courtroom proceedings or courtroom discourse for the spoken legal discourse, and legal texts, for the written counterpart (Archer, 2005; Cotterill, 2002).
