Through analysis of legislation and policy documents, interviews with lawyers, law students and law lecturers, and observations of court proceedings and law lectures, the book reflects on what is entailed in changing the language of the law. It reviews the implications of societal bilingualism for postcolonial justice systems, and raises an important question for language planners to consider: if the language of the law is changed, what else about the law changes?. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Language planning; Language and law; Postcolonial law; Bilingual law; Multilingual law; Language for prof | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-1173-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-15-1175-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-15-1173-8Series ISSN 1571-5361 Series E-ISSN 2452-1027 | | issn_series | 1571-5361 | | copyright | Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020 |
