________________________________________
English for Law 2018 is the revised and streamlined edition of the previous one (2016). It is an intermediate and above-level English legal language source reference for non-native under/postgraduate students of Law, International Relations, Economics and Political Science as well as for legal practitioners who need to be able to understand and use the essential legal concepts and terms in the principal areas of English law. The four theoretical Chapters, explaining how the particular concepts of law operate in clear, concise language and self-explanatory visual format, are complemented by Worksheets in which students find a variety of language and task-based exercises designed to test their ability to use legal English knowledge and skills in real contexts and practice. This book includes three Appendixes, which provide additional reference information in support of the main material within the book and introduce students to genre-based approaches to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in a clear language. The book links to online audio and video resources to enable students to extend their knowledge and is suitable for both classroom and self-study use.

G. Tessuto, Constructing Scholarly Ethos in Non-mainstream Medical Research Writing Discursive and Linguistic Strategies
No full textAt a time when mainstream, biomedical research and practice continue to frame
the discourse about health, non-mainstream, or alternative/complementary medical
research is now gaining ground in some academic publishing venues. While
non-mainstream researchers are likely to work twice as hard to survive on a very
uneven playing field, they must also develop rational appeals to believability in
order to be persuasive in their own writing. In this chapter, I set out to explore
the discursive and linguistic strategies employed by alternative/complementary
medicine scholars to see how and to what extent they convey a scholarly ethos
that entails building their own authority, credibility, and expertise and recognizing
the values of their academic community. Taking a corpus-driven approach to
academic articles in this field, I look at how authors project themselves and their
work and persuade their audience about their arguments and perspectives in this
form of writing. To do so, I rely on the cover term of evaluation in academic discourse
analytical research to examine stance-making resources for their linguistic
realization in both quantitative and qualitative terms and to identify the attendant
meanings for interaction and persuasion that establish the writers’ ethos on the
topics they discuss. Conclusions are drawn about the relevance of such findings
for discourse activities enacted by the non-mainstream academic community
