This paper concerns interpreter-mediated courtroom hearings inDenmark. Based on audio-recordings, we analyse the contributions of judgeand interpreter, and we focus on if, how and by whom the non-Danish speakingaccused is informed about the possibility to speak with a lawyer in private.Although legally trivial, this information is crucial to the accused as it concernshis/her legal rights and options. We show how the informational sequenceunfolds interactionally; we argue that the work of judge and interpreter iscollaborative; and we discuss the potential of our sociolinguistic / interactionalperspectives to inform the legal professionals. Here we are concerned witha wide-spread understanding of quality in legal interpreting. Rather thanregarding ‘quality’ as equal to ‘correct’ and ‘accurate’ translation and focusingon the work of the interpreter in isolation, we suggest that it is necessary toconsider context, aims, addressees and functions of the interpreting activity. Weargue that the interpreter’s work facilitates better understanding for the accused,and at the same time, a more streamlined courtroom interaction

Police officers anticipate the evidential function and the absentaudience while interviewing and recording investigative interviews. Thisaudience consists of judges charged with taking procedural decisions based,among other things, on their reception of these written records. Qualitativestudies have revealed that interviewers use confrontational questions tocommunicate their doubt regarding the interviewee’s credibility to the audience,and that they formulate the questions in the written record more confrontationallythan in the actual interview for the same reason. However, so far, insufficientknowledge exists about the intended effect: Is the audience receptive to thepolice officer’s doubt when reading the written record? Our paper reportsan experiment testing the effects of this confrontational questioning style. Theresults show that there is, indeed, a communicative (inter-)action transcendingthe police investigative interview room: the audience is receptive to the policeofficer’s doubt transmitted via the questioning style reported in the writtenrecord

The police caution in England and Wales is a compulsory elementof every police interview that informs suspects of their right to silence andoutlines the concept of adverse inference. This research draws on authenticdata from interviews with 17- and 18-year-old suspects from two English policeforces, analysing how the cautioning exchanges are negotiated while consideringsuspects’ ages and legal statuses as children and adults, respectively. Taking aninductive approach rooted in conversation analysis, the findings reveal an overalltendency for interviewers to explain the caution directly after reciting it, therebyacting on a presumption of suspects’ non-comprehension. It is also consideredhow the (discursive) presence of appropriate adults in interviews with juvenilescan complicate the interactions. The study sheds light on the experiences of anunder-researched group of interviewees and discusses the implications of thesefindings on police practice and vulnerable persons’ access to justice.

This paper aims to investigate the overall structural organization of apreliminary hearing in the Special Criminal Court, a court which is responsi-ble for judging misdemeanor cases. The research is based on the theoretical-methodological approach of Conversation Analysis (Sackset al.2003 1974),focusing on studies of institutional talk-in-interaction (Drew e Heritage 1992;Roberts e Sarangi 2005; Robinson 2013), as well as combining concepts fromInteractional Sociolinguistics (Gumperz 1999; Gumperz, J.J. 2002). The resultsshow four phases: opening, that occurs when the conciliator takes a roll call andgreets the parties; presentation of the problem, which happens when they explainlegal concepts to laypeople; offering to file the case, when the conciliator triesto persuade the parties to file and close the case; and ending, that takes placewhen the parties sign the paper agreement
本文旨在对负责轻罪审判的特别刑事法院预审的总体结构组织进行考察。本研究以对话分析(Sackset .2003 . 1974)的理论方法为基础，重点研究互动中的制度性对话(Drew e Heritage 1992;Roberts e Sarangi 2005;Robinson 2013)，并结合了互动社会语言学的概念(Gumperz 1999;甘伯兹，J.J. 2002)。结果显示了四个阶段:开始，当调解员点名并向各方打招呼时发生;问题的呈现，当他们向外行人解释法律概念时;当调解员试图说服当事人立案并结案时，主动提出立案;当双方签署书面协议时，这就发生了

The second half of 2020 has also been severely affected by the institutional paralysis resulting from the COVID-19 health crisis, although there are some interesting regulatory developments and case law. In the field of the civil service, the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) ruled on the need to speak Valencian as a requirement for certain jobs reserved for civil servants of the local administration with national qualification. On the other hand, there are three decrees on the change of the name of a municipality exclusively in Valencian, and very specifically the change of name of Villanueva de Castellon to the exclusive form in Valencian "Castello" has been object of disagreement on the part of the municipality of Castello de la Plana, capital of the province of Castellon. There are also some normative developments in the organisational field, with the approval of a new Organic and Functional Regulation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport. Likewise, modifications have been introduced in the composition of the Valencian Language Academy (AVL), in compliance with Law 12/2017, amending the laws regulating the institutions of the Generalitat to guarantee equality between women and men in its bodies. Finally, we mention promotion activity, which includes not only training actions for the promotion of Valencian and subsidies for the promotion of Valencian, but also the signing of a general collaboration protocol for an inclusive and unitary legislation.

Over the last few decades, Italian has increasingly borrowed from English to create a wide range of neologisms. This holds true especially with regard to languages for specific purposes, including legal and institutional language. The use of foreign words by Swiss public authorities has raised political concern in recent years, and action has been taken to contain the spread of this trend. Although some papers have already tackled this question, none of them adopt an empirical perspective. This corpus-based study sets out to investigate the use of anglicisms in Swiss legal Italian from the 70s to the present day. A twofold quantitative and qualitative analysis will shed light on the extent and microdiachronic evolution of this phenomenon and attempt a description of its features. The results are encouraging; even though the number of anglicisms has increased over the last few decades, Swiss federal legislation makes scarce use of foreign words. All in all, anglicisms do not seem to constitute a major barrier to an accessible legislation, at least in Switzerland.
