‘The content of the Research Handbook on Jurilinguistics is multidimensional.

Secondly, the authors come from various countries: Saudia Arabia, France, Hong Kong, Greece, Finland, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, the United States and others. Therefore, this edited volume represents a rich and complex instrument reflecting the different spheres of interaction between law and language.’
