Legal linguistics is the study of language as it relates to the law. It examines how legal texts, such as statutes, contracts, and court rulings, are constructed and interpreted. This field analyzes the clarity, ambiguity, and meaning of legal language, aiming to improve communication within the legal system. Additionally, legal linguistics explores the role of language in legal processes, including how it affects the understanding of rights and obligations. It also considers the impact of language on legal outcomes, such as in cases involving bilingualism or interpreters in court settings.
