Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The learning objective of this course is to introduce students to key questions in legal linguistics.

Students should develop the ability to independently and critically engage with legal linguistic topics, as well as to become familiar with, understand, and apply various theoretical and methodological approaches within selected legal contexts.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment component 1: Participation in a topic group as a presenter or moderator of a discussion group.

Assessment component 2: Submission of 3–4 questions before each presentation session; a positive grade can only be achieved if questions are submitted on at least five topics.

Assessment component 3: Active participation in group discussions following the presentations.

Assessment component 4: Submission of a topic-specific legal linguistic bibliography with 25–30 entries.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
