Una resena del italiano y del espagnol juridico con enfasis en lexico y morfosintaxis
A Survey of Legal Italian and Spanish Emphasising Lexical and Morphological Aspects

Summary/Abstract: The legal jargon has various distinctive features which distinguish it from other types of specialized language. The specificity of the legal speech which triggers ‘the legal character of the meaning’ can be described from a double perspective: lexical and morphosyntactic. In this paper, we are doing a review of legal Spanish and Italian languages with emphasis on vocabulary and morphosyntax and aiming at setting a group of reference points that the legal linguistic literature offers us and identifying the linguistic processes in which the legal speech builds its authority.
