Abstract

In this article we intend to introduce the reader to the study of legal language from the functional-systemic perspective of the studies of speech. Our aim is to retake the contributions of different specialists so as to create working tools for the study of legal language, understood as specialist language, so that it is useful for those who wish to devote to its study. To that purpose we will see the concepts of genre and register once again, we will feature the formal peculiarities and we will analyse the internal variety of the language focus of study. Such contributions make it possible to map out the legal text through a situational approach focused on the exploration of its contextual configuration without forgetting its cognitive structure and its communicative intention.
