About this ebook
The focus of this volume is on digital and multimodal aspects of legal communication. The contributions, written in English, German, and French, are partly theoretical papers on language, law, and lawmaking in the digital present, partly empirical analyses of informative legal texts embedded in online – and therefore digital – media, allowing for taking advantage of multimodal textual means. The volume thus investigates the specific impact that the interaction of digitality as a medium and a societal condition, multimodal textual means, and the legal context has on creating legal meaning and the image of legal institutions in a broader sense. The topics are analysed contrastively in an inter- or intracultural context, or as individual case studies, providing profound insights into this complex field of research.
