: Language, law, interdisciplinarity.Abstract
The present literature research encompassed some areas in which language and law intertwine. Hence, the objective was to discuss the interdisciplinary field of language and law and its relationship to disciplines of both law and linguistics. To this end, the philosophy of language and law, law and literature, law and semiotics have suggested an association of both sciences,
which has attracted research around the world, especially in the United States and Britain. Furthermore, it explored rhetoric, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, forensic linguistics to illustrate how these sciences have construed meanings and established power in contemporary society by using language as its platform. Despite the exciting and fruitful relationship of both sciences, the infiltration of this area into the humanities has been suggested as paramount to future linguistic and legal development.
