Aims & Scope

Comparative Legilinguistics (International Journal for Legal Communication) is published four times a year by the Faculty of Modern Languages and Literatures, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. We are pathfinders in mapping the contours of legal linguistics and legal translation especially in its comparative aspects. Comparative Legilinguistics is equally devoted to forensic linguistics , theory of the law and the intersection of legal language and legal translation. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on political discourse , with a focus on persuasive strategies, linguistic markers of deception and truth-telling, the legal and political aspects of policy-making , and the intersections of political rhetoric with legal frameworks . We encourage submissions in English, French and German. Guest edited volumes at the request of the guest editor may be published in Italian, Polish, Russian and Chinese.
