While maritime law and law of the sea are highly-researched domains of law, there are few studies about the language associated with these fields. In a global society that is increasingly impacted by environmental, health, social, humanitarian, and political crises that partly unfold on the sea, this volume unites legal scholars and linguists who work on the language of these fields. The book includes chapters that focus on macro levels of linguistic analyses (e.g., discourse and genre analysis) and micro levels (e.g., terminology) as well as translation. Several languages for maritime legal purposes are studied, including English, French, and Chinese.
