This is a website for students at Washington State University who are enrolled in English 112 during spring 2018. Others are also welcome to visit, but this site is a required part of English 112.
The topic of this version of the class is language and the law and we will be discussing
- the development and
peculiarities of legal language (the language of statutes, courts and other
legal documents);
- legal issues that arise from
language acts (for example, threats, promises, contracts, perjury, plagiarism
and forgery, truth in advertising); and
- language as evidence (dialect
and language identification, style identification, voice identification).
