Special Issue of FACHSPRACHE on Legal Phraseology and Specialised Meanings in Multilingual Settings

Guest editors: Stanisław Goźdź-Roszkowski (University of Łódź) Gianluca Pontrandolfo (University of Trieste)

Corpus linguistics and the emergence of specialised computerised resources have given fresh impetus to the study of phraseology. This has resulted in the emergence of the distributional (Evert, 2004), frequency-based (Nesselhauf, 2004) approach which adopts a bottom-up corpus-driven approach to identify lexical co-occurrences (Sinclair, 1987). At the same time, the notion of phraseology has expanded to denote “the whole range of co-occurrence patterns” (Granger 2005) or “the co-occurrence of a form or a lemma of a lexical item and one more or additional linguistic elements of various kinds which functions as one semantic unit in a clause or sentence and whose frequency of co-occurrence is larger than expected on the basis of chance” (Gries 2008:6). Despite the growing interest in phraseology and its recognised pervasiveness in language (e.g. Granger & Meunier, 2008; Römer& Schulze, 2009), research into phraseological items and patterns in legal discourse remains relatively underexplored. This perceived gap in legal phraseology research is particularly serious in respect of multilingual, contrastive studies.
