It is an innovative, interdisciplinary study, showcasing the value of taking a diachronic corpus linguistics-based approach to the study of legal change and legal development, and the semantic shifts in the corresponding terminology. The seminal application in the legal field of these analytical methodologies borrowed from pragmatic linguistics goes beyond the content approach that legal research usually practices and it has allowed for claims of semantic change to be objectified. This ground-breaking work is pitched at scholars of legal history, law & language, and linguistics. 410 0$aLegal history library ;$vVolume 42. 606 $aConsideration (Law)$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aContracts$zEngland$xHistory 615 0$aConsideration (Law)$xHistory. 615 0$aContracts$xHistory. 676 $a346.42022 700 $aLaske$b Caroline$01577822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794133003321 996 $aLaw, language, and change$93856717 997 $aUNINA
