As an appliable linguistics, Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) ‘has been a source of insight in forensic work’. It can work in two contexts: ‘enabling’ contexts of a regulating kind—laws and acts of parliament, constitutions, legally binding agreements and the like; and ‘reporting’ contexts—police interrogations, statements in evidence, cross-examinations in trials, and so on. (Matthiessen 2009: 40)
The Martin Centre for Appliable Linguistics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University is privileged to host the International Conference on Appliable Linguistics and Legal Discourse from 14 to 18 December, 2016.
