The book series of the Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Leibniz Institute for the German Language, IDS) offers a platform for comparative research on selected aspects of German linguistics, especially with regard to their typological relevance. It includes both monographs and edited volumes, in English and in German, on topics such as grammar (phonology, graphemics, morphology, syntax, semantics), lexis, pragmatics, second-language acquisition, multilingualism and language contact. All publications are innovative contributions to the description of the linguistic phenomena in question, but also to the theoretical foundations of their respective fields. They all have successfully gone through a peer-review process. The series is published on behalf of the IDS and edited by Prof. Eva Breindl (Professor of Germanic Linguistics with special focus on ‘German as a foreign language’ at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg) and Dr. Lutz Gunkel (Research Associate in the Grammar Department of the IDS Mannheim).

While maritime law and law of the sea are highly-researched domains of law, there are few studies about the language associated with these fields. In a global society that is increasingly impacted by environmental, health, social, humanitarian, and political crises that partly unfold on the sea, this volume unites legal scholars and linguists who work on the language of these fields. The book includes chapters that focus on macro levels of linguistic analyses (e.g., discourse and genre analysis) and micro levels (e.g., terminology) as well as translation. Several languages for maritime legal purposes are studied, including English, French, and Chinese.
