- Abstract: This Special Issue collects eight papers that draw on theories and methods from law, discourse analysis, digital studies, and sociology to inquire into the legal discourse in transition, more specifically, the dynamic and evolving nature of legal discourse as it adapts to the multifaceted challenges of the modern, interconnected world. Notably, this collection captures law as a contested presence where technology, tools, and social demands collide. It draws on a wide array of discourses such as the Chinese criminal laws, AI-related laws in European Union and China, Chinese court judgments, online public opinion on social media Weibo, literary novels, etc. Three important aspects of legal discourse are touched upon: quantitative approaches to legal discourse, legal discourse in the digital age, and law as a site of social contestation. Methodologically, this collection covers both qualitative (e.g., content analysis) and quantitative approaches (e.g., corpus linguistics and topic modeling) to examine the use of linguistic and discursive patterns in different types of discourses. By conceptualizing legal discourse as an interdisciplinary field co-constructed by linguists, technologists, and lawmakers, this collection hopes to offer important theoretical, methodological, and empirical insights for further research at the intersection of law, linguistics, digital studies, and critical theory.
