Abstract

Our research focuses on studying the linguistic structure of legal discourse in Algeria as a specialized language in the judicial field. It is considered a specific area of expertise, along with medicine, engineering, law, and psychology. The development of this language resulted from precise concepts among specialists in their field. We specifically examined the discourse of pleadings and judicial opinions, delving into the theoretical aspects and key milestones leading to the emergence of this specialized language. Additionally, we explored the cultural and social influences on the structure of legal discourse, aiming to identify significant milestones that distinguish Algerian legal language, including linguistic and semantic strategies used by lawyers and legal scholars to achieve legal and just objectives. Our analysis aimed to understand the interaction between textual linguistics, applied linguistics, and the legal context in Algeria, examining how language and discourse impact the formulation of judgments and legal decisions in the Algerian judicial context. We provided a comprehensive analysis of language use and discourse formation in the local legal environment, evaluating the mechanisms and strategies employed in presenting arguments and reasoning in legal discourse. This study contributes to understanding the interaction between language and law within this cultural and legal context.
